162. Rubus suberectus, Anders. [Lit. Brit. 34 , 39 ; Marquand 1513 ; 
N.C.E. 1 , 3 b, 4 , 11, 16 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 40 ; Alps 16 ; Pyren. 17 .] In R. sub- 
erectus we would include any or all the Rubi suberecti , were there more than 
one at Clova : for, following Sir Joseph Hooker, it is our endeavour, in 
Rubus , in Hieracia and elsewhere, to equalize our species and, as far as 
possible, neither to give a fictitious value to small Variations nor to shirk 
the difficulty of drawing distinctions by lumping. But in the literature list 
above given we have quoted all citations of R.fruticosus, sensu amplissimo.

stamens dehisce. The brilliant patches of flowers in early April attract 
flies, but bees do not visit them. Plenty of fruit is ripened. The flowers of 
a handsome Pyreneean variety cultivated at Kew show no self-pollination.
