− | Rubus thyrsanthus, Focke. A vigorous species, with suberect or decumbent canes which are prostrate when very long, the strong prolonged sts. angled and grooved, thorny with flattened declined or curved prickles, mostly thinly hairy or pubescent: petioles and midribs recurved prickly; lfts. 3 or 5, thick, green above and white-tomentose beneath, round-elliptic or round-ovate, the terminal one broad-elliptic or ovate, abruptly pointed, sharply and mostly doubly serrate-dentate: infl. thyrsoid-paniculate, narrow, short or elongated, sometimes compound, densely pubescent or tomentose, leafy; fls. about medium size, white, the small reflexed sepals white-tomentose: fr. black.—Germany, and probably scattered by cult., regarded by Focke as one form of the collective species R. thyrsoideus, Wimm. Inserted here because the plant grown in this country as the Himalaya berry (p. 1492) is perhaps referable to it.
