Discussion | Of conservation concern. Rubus bartonianus is distinguished from the other flowering raspberries within its geographic range by its erect, unarmed stems, relatively small, simple leaves with acute to obtuse lobes, deeply cordate bases, sparsely hairy or glabrous abaxial surfaces, relatively large flowers with white petals, and densely long-hairy, clavate styles. The leaves superficially resemble those of Acer glabrum or some species of Ribes. Rubus bartonianus is most similar to R. neomexicanus but especially R. deliciosus. The species is known only from the Snake River Canyon of Idaho and Oregon. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
Genus 1, species 250–700 (37 in the flora). The base chromosome number for Rubeae is x = 7. The tribe is host to Phragmidium rusts. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
