Rubus is a large genus of flowering plants in the family Rosaceae, subfamily Rosoideae. A genus (plural genera from Γένος Latin genus "descent family type gender" is a low-level Taxonomic The flowering plants or angiosperms ( Angiospermae or Magnoliophyta) are the most widespread group The Rosaceae or Rose family is a large family of Plants with about 3000-4000 species in 100-160 genera The Rose subfamily Rosoideae consists of 878 species including many Shrubs perennial Herbs and fruit plants such as strawberries and Raspberries, blackberries, and dewberries are common, widely distributed members of the genus. Most of these plants have woody stems with prickles like roses; spines, bristles, and gland-tipped hairs are also common in the genus. A rose is a perennial flowering Shrub or vine of the Genus Rosa, within the family Rosaceae, that contains over 100 species The Rubus fruit, sometimes called a bramble fruit, is an aggregate of drupelets. In Botany, a drupe is a Fruit in which an outer fleshy part ( Exocarp, or skin and Mesocarp, or flesh surrounds a shell (the pit

The blackberries, as well as various other Rubus species with mounding or rambling growth habits, are often called brambles. Bramble refers to thorny plants of the Genus Rubus, in the Rose family ( Rosaceae) However, this name is not used for those like the raspberry that grow as upright canes, or for trailing or prostrate species such as most dewberries, or various low-growing boreal, arctic, or alpine species. The raspberry (plural raspberries) is the edible Fruit of a multitude of plant species in the subgenus Idaeobatus of the genus Rubus

The genus Rubus is believed to have existed since at least 23. 7 to 36. 6 million years ago. [1]

Examples of the hundreds, if not thousands, of species of Rubus include:

• Rubus allegheniensis – Allegheny Blackberry
• Rubus arcticus – Arctic Raspberry
• Rubus armeniacus – Himalayan Blackberry
• Rubus caesius – European Dewberry
• Rubus canadensis – Canadian Blackberry
• Rubus chamaemorus – Cloudberry
• Rubus cuneifolius – Sand Blackberry
• Rubus fruticosus agg. The Arctic raspberry, Rubus arcticus, (includes Rubus arcticus ssp Rubus armeniacus ( Armenian Blackberry or Himalayan Blackberry; syn See also List of early spring flowers The Dewberries ( Rubus sect The cloudberry ( Rubus chamaemorus) also called bakeapple in Newfoundland and Labrador, Cape Breton Island and southern Nova Scotia is The BlackBerry is a Wireless Handheld device introduced in 1999 as a two-way pager – Blackberry
• Rubus idaeus – European Red Raspberry
• Rubus leucodermis – Whitebark Raspberry or Western Raspberry
• Rubus occidentalis – Black Raspberry
• Rubus odoratus – Flowering Raspberry
• Rubus parviflorus – Thimbleberry
• Rubus pensilvanicus – Pennsylvania Blackberry
• Rubus phoenicolasius – Wineberry
• Rubus saxatilis – Stone Bramble
• Rubus spectabilis – Salmonberry
• Rubus strigosus – American Red Raspberry

The genus also includes numerous hybrids, both natural and bred by man, such as the Loganberry (Rubus × loganobaccus). Rubus idaeus ( Raspberry; occasionally as European Raspberry, Framboise, or Red Raspberry to distinguish it from related species Rubus leucodermis ( Blackcap Raspberry, Black Raspberry, or Whitebark Raspberry, and native Blue Raspberry) is a species of Rubus occidentalis is a species of Rubus native to eastern North America. Rubus odoratus ( Purple-flowering Raspberry, Flowering Raspberry, or Virginia raspberry) is a species of Rubus, native Rubus parviflorus ( Thimbleberry) is a species of Rubus, native to western and northern North America, from Alaska Rubus pensilvanicus, also called Pennsylvania Blackberry or Wild Blackberry, is a thorny Bramble native to Eastern North America Rubus phoenicolasius ( Japanese Wineberry or Wineberry) is a species of Raspberry ( Rubus subgenus Idaeobatus The Rubus saxatilis or Stone Bramble is a plant species of the genus Rubus. Rubus spectabilis ( Salmonberry) is a species of Rubus native to the west coast of North America from southern Alaska to California Rubus strigosus ( American Red Raspberry or American Raspberry) is a species of Rubus native to most of North America In Biology, hybrid has two meanings The first meaning is the result of interbreeding between two animals or plants of different taxa. The loganberry ( Rubus × loganobaccus) is a hybrid produced from crossing a Blackberry and a Raspberry.

Scientific classification

The genus Rubus is a very complex one, particularly the blackberry/dewberry subgenus (Rubus), with polyploidy, hybridization, and facultative apomixis apparently all frequently occurring, making species classification of the great variation in the subgenus one of the grand challenges of systematic botany. Rubus species (brambles blackberry-like plants are used as food plants by the Larvae of a number of Lepidoptera species including The BlackBerry is a Wireless Handheld device introduced in 1999 as a two-way pager See also List of early spring flowers The Dewberries ( Rubus sect Polyploidy occurs in cells and Organisms when there are more than two homologous sets of Chromosomes. In Biology, a species is one of the basic units of Biological classification and a Taxonomic rank. Some treatments have recognized dozens of species each for what other, comparably qualified botanists have considered single, more variable species. On the other hand, species in the other Rubus subgenera (such as the raspberries) are generally distinct, or else involved in more routine one-or-a-few taxonomic debates, such as whether the European and American red raspberries are better treated as one species or two. In Biology, a subgenus is a Taxonomic rank directly below Genus. (In this case, the two-species view is followed here, with Rubus idaeus and R. strigosus both recognized; if these species are combined, then the older name R. idaeus has priority for the broader species. )

The classification presented below recognizes 13 subgenera within Rubus, with the largest subgenus (Rubus) in turn divided into 12 sections. In Biology, a subgenus is a Taxonomic rank directly below Genus. Representative examples are presented, but there are many more species not mentioned here.
