Rubus strigosus, Michx. (R. idaeus, Linn., var. strigosus, Maxim. R. idaeus, subsp. strigosus, Focke). Red Raspberry. Fig. 3355, p. 2913. Much like the last, but distinguished by a more slender and open habit, stiff prickles on the bearing canes which are brown and somewhat glaucous, thinner leaves, and glandtipped hairs or bristles upon the flowering shoots, petioles, and calyx, the latter less pubescent or hirsute: fl.-clusters more open or scattered: fr. bright light red, or rarely yellow or whitish, not produced continuously. Widely spread in the northern states as far west as Missouri, also in the mountains to Ariz, and northward to Alaska, extending farther north than the Blackcap; also in Asia.— Under cult. the glandular hairs usually disappear. The light red garden berries, like Cuthbert, belong here. Var. albus, Fuller, has amber-white frs. This plant belongs to a variable group, and other species have been separated from it, as: R. carolinianus, Rydb.; from N. C., with young sts. puberulent and densely retrorsely glandular-hispid; R.Egglestonii, Blanch. (R. idaeus var. anomalus, Fern.), from Vt., perhaps an aberrant form, with lvs. of floral branches mostly simple and reniform and somewhat rounded-3-lobed; and others.
