Rubus laciniatus, Willd. (R. fruticosus var. laciniatus, Hort.). Cut-leaved or Evergreen Blackberry. Fig. 3499. A tall, straggling bush with permanent or perennial canes in mild climates, and lvs. more or less evergreen, the sts. provided with recurved prickles: lfts.3, broadly ovate in general outline, cut into several or many oblong or almost linear sharply toothed divisions, the ribs prickly below and the petioles strongly so: fls. in terminal panicles, white or blush, the calyx and pedicels pubescent or even tomentose: fr. usually thimble-shaped, late, black, often excellent. Gn. 21, p. 57; 45, p. 78. G.M. 49:765.—This blackberry is probably native to Eu., where it has been long known in gardens. It is apparently only a cut-lvd. form of the European R. vulgaris, Weihe & Nees. It is now widely scattered, and seems to thrive particularly well in Hawaii and other Pacific islands and on the Pacific slope. By some it is supposed to be native to the South Sea Isls, (see Bull. 64, Utah Exp. Sta.). It is probable that the plant has been intro. into the W. from those sources, but such fact does not prove its original nativity. It has aroused considerable attention in Ore. and other parts of the W., and has been known as the Oregon Everbearing blackberry. In mild climates the lower parts of the canes often live from year to year until they become as thick as one's wrist; and in such climates the lvs. persist for the greater part of the winter. The plant has long been grown for ornament in the eastern states, but it has not attracted attention as a fr.-plant in this region. The fruits are of fair size and quality, and ripen from midsummer or late summer to Oct. The plant is a good ornamental subject, although it is likely to cause trouble by sprouting at the root.
