Rubus bartonianus
Rubus parvifolius
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.

Rubus parvifolius is distinguished from other raspberries by its broadly ovate-rhombic to obovate leaflets and relatively small flowers with pinkish to magenta petals. This species has the potential to become a very significant weed (P. M. Drobney and M. P. Widrlechner 2012).
