This species “seems to be confined to the eastern states. Bailey gives the range as from New England to Virginia. It is a common, but not a very productive blackberry in old fields and fencerows in the hills of Pennsylvania and West Virginia.’’ (as stated in Davis et al. 1969b: 261). Southern AFrica. Rubus revealii sp. nov. is an invasive species in parts of South Africa, especially in the north of Kwazulu-Natal, the east of the Free State, and the southeast of Mpumelanga, and also in Swaziland. In Kwazulu-Natal, it is accompanied by two other invaders from North America, R. probabilis L.H. Bailey and R. originalis L.H. Bailey. In South African publications (Stirton 1984; Henderson 2001, 2011), these three taxa have usually been considered as forms of R. cuneifolius Pursh. More recently, Sochor (2018) correctly conceived the samples of R. revealii sp. nov. and R. originalis as belonging to the Arguti. PICTURES. — Henderson (2011): 1a and c; 2: the upper series; 3: the upper series. DISTINGUISHING TRAITS. — Rubus revealii sp. nov. has some resemblance to R. laudatus A. Berger. However, the latter has more gradually attenuated and broader leaflets, the central leaflets typically with acute tips, and stronger, leafier racemose inflorescences, except at the extreme western edge of its native range, where it can produce heavily armed, short-flaring inflorescences (Widrlechner 2013).Published as part of Van de Beek, Abraham & Widrlechner, Mark P., 2021, North American species of Rubus L.

Bramble Rambles — the 2024 Field Survey
No full textBrambles (blackberries, dewberries, and raspberries) belong to a taxonomically complicated genus in the rose family, the genus Rubus. The genus has had inadequate study in our Indiana flora, resulting in an incomplete list of species, poor understanding of the taxonomy of the group, and inadequate knowledge of the distribution, rarity, or invasiveness of these species.This article is published as Widrlechner, Mark P. 2024.

Rubus beamanii, a new name for Rubus vagus L.H. Bailey, a glandular dewberry described from Kalamazoo County, Michigan, and recently discovered in Ohio
No full textThe recent discovery of Rubus vagus L.H. Bailey at Camp Ravenna Joint Military Training Center in Portage and Trumbull County, Ohio, has highlighted a seldom-seen species of North American Rubus that, for 70 years, has been illegitimately named. We propose a valid name for it: Rubus beamanii Widrlechner & Riley, nom. nov., honoring Professor John Beaman (1929-2015). A key to the glandular dewberries of Ohio and surrounding states is included as an aid to distinguishing R. beamanii from the other glandular dewberries encountered in the region.This aricle is published as Widrlechner, Mark P., and Brian P. Riley. 2017. Rubus beamanii, a new name for Rubus vagus L.H. Bailey, a glandular dewberry described from Kalamazoo County, Michigan, and recently discovered in Ohio. Phytoneuron 2017-10: 1-10.
