A GREEN FRUITED RUBUS FROM BRAZIL. 
This species, Rubus brasiliensis Mart., occurs in, the 
Highlands of Minas Geraes, where it was collected in 1914 
by the Dorsett, Shamel and Popenoe Expedition. The plant 
grows to a height of six or more feet, and produces its 
fruits in clusters of good size. It is called by the 
natives, amora, a name which properly belongs to the mul- 
berry but is also applied to Rubus rosaefolius as well as 
the species here shown. The fruits are translucent yel- 
lowish-green when ripe, sweet and agreeable in flavor but 
rather seedy. For breeders of rubiaceous fruits this 
species may be of interest and value. Brazilian Expedition
