our snowy mountains aud those of New Zealand. The 
fruit of R. G-unnianus is red and juicy, hut not always well 
developed. 
Rubus cuneifolius, Pursh. 
The Sand Blackberry. North America. A dwarf shrub. 
The fruit is of agreeable taste. 
Rubus deliciosus, Torrey. 
On the sources of the Missouri. An erect shrub. Fruit 
Raspberry -like, large and grateful. 
Rubus fruticosus, L-* 
The ordinary Blackberry or Bramble. All Europe, North 
Africa, Middle and Northern Asia. This shrub bears well 
in our clime. In some countries it is a favci'-te plant for 
hedges. It likes above all calcareous soil, tLcugh it is con- 
tent with almost any, and deserves to be naturalized on the 
rivulets of our ranges. R. corylifolius, Sm,, R. swbereotus, 
Andr. and R. leucostachys, Sm.,are varieties like many other 
named kinds of European Blackberries, or perhaps belong to 
the closely allied R. caesius, L., the English Dewberry ; or 
in some instances hybrid forms may have arisen from the 
two, although the generality of these various Blackberry- 
bushes bear their fruits freely enough. 
Rubus Idaeus, D * 
The ordinary Raspberry. Europe, Northern and West 
Asia. It is mentioned here, to point out the desirability of 
naturalizing the plant in our mountains and on river-banks. 
It would live also on our highest alps, where the native 
Raspberry {R. panifolius, L.) produces much finer fruits 
than in our lowlands. The fruits contain Stereopten. 
Rubus macropetalus, Douglas.* 
California and Oregon. An unisexual shrub. Fruit black, 
oval-cylindric, particularly sweet. 
Rubus occidentalis, L.* 
The Black Raspberry or Thimbleberry. North America. 
A species with woody stems and nice fruits, with a glaucous 
bloom, well flavored and large. It ripens early.
