The '''Swamp Dewberry''', '''Bristly Dewberry''', '''Bristly Groundberry''', '''Groundberry''', '''Hispid Swamp Blackberry''', '''Running Swamp Blackberry''' (''Rubus hispidus'') is a [[rubus|bramble]].
It reaches a height of from 0.2 m to 1 m tall and is in leaf all year. It grows in moist or sometimes dry soils, ditches, swales or open woods in eastern [[North America]], from [[Ontario]] to the [[Maritime Provinces]] and south to [[South Carolina]].
This plant has small flowers with five white rounded petals. The fruit is a raspberry (an aggregate of drupelets), red or dark purple when ripe. The twigs are red and bristled.
A dull blue dye can be created from its berries. It also can be used as an [[astringent]]. The berries are rather bitter for culinary use, and so this plant is generally not cultivated.
