Rubus odoratus, Linn. (R. grandifolius, Salisb. Bossekia odorata, Greene. Rubacer odoratum, Rydb.). Flowering Raspberry. Mulberry (erroneously). Fig. 3489. Strong-growing plant, with the shreddy canes reaching 3-6 ft.: lvs. very large, pubescent beneath, 3-5-lobed, the lobes triangular-acuminate with broad triangular teeth and sharp-serrate: fls. 1-2 in. across, rose-purple, several to many in the cluster, the sepals with a long point, the peduncles and pedicels glandular-pubescent: berry flattish and broad (3/4in. across), rather dry, light red, edible but not valued. Nova Scotia to Mich. and Ala. Gn. 34, p. 230. B.M. 323. J.H. III. 31:133. F.E. 22:557. Var. columbianus, Millsp. (Rubacer columbianum, Rydb.), native in W. Va., has lanceolate incised-dentate or doubly dentate lobes. Var. albidus, growing with the type, has whitish fls. and lighter-colored bark.—R. odoratus prefers rich shady woods and banks. It makes a bold subject in a foliage mass, and its fls. are nearly as large as many single roses, although the color is less bright. It spreads rapidly from the root and overtops weaker plants.
