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.
The berries are rather bitter for culinary use, and so this plant is generally not cultivated.

Rubus hispidus, Linn. (R. obovalis, Michx. R. sempervirens, Bigel.). Fig. 3505. Sts. very slender, scarcely woody but usually persisting over winter, creeping, bearing many weak reflexed small bristles: lfts. usually 3, thick, shining above, wedge-obovate or oval- obovate, usually obtuse, doubly serrate: fls. small, white, on few-fld., herbaceous nearly or quite leafless peduncles arising from the creeping canes: fr. small and of few drupelets, red to red-black, sour. Swamps or low sandy soils, Nova Scotia to Ga. and Kans.—Of no value for fr., but sometimes offered by dealers for covering the ground in moist places. The lvs. usually persist through the winter, and in sunny places they assume a fine bronzy hue.
