Read about Rubus illecebrosus in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture

Rubus illecebrosus, Focke (R. sorbifolius, Hort., not Maxim.). Strawberry-raspberry, Figs. 3497, 3498, from Japan, is a dwarf glabrous but prickly undershrub with pretty pinnate foliage, and white fls. 1 3/4 in. across, and scarlet fr. Gn. 64, p. 412. A.G. 24:603. A beautiful plant and worthy of general cult. In the N. it usually kills to the ground each winter, but it throws up shoots 2-4 ft., and these bloom from summer until frost, usually ripening fr. at the same time. The fr. has some value for eating, but it is probable that it will never be greatly developed in this direction. R. illecebrosus is suckering: sts. angular, glabrous, prickly: lfts. 5-7, oblong-lanceolate, acuminate, duplicate serrate, pilose on the veins beneath, otherwise nearly glabrous: fls. terminal and axillary, solitary or few, bracted. How much of the cult. material belongs to this species and to No. 48 is to be determined. The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
