Rubus trivialis

Shrubs, to 3(–7) dm, sometimes climbing higher through other vegetation, moderately to densely armed. Stems biennial, initially low-arching, then falling and creeping (or climbing through other vegetation), glabrous or moderately hairy, sparsely to densely short- to long-stipitate-glandular, not pruinose; prickles moderate to dense, recurved, sometimes distally slender, 1–4 mm, broad-based; bristles absent or sparse to dense, erect to retrorse, red to purple, rarely green, slender, weak, gland-tipped. Leaves persistent or semipersistent, ternate to palmately compound, lustrous; stipules filiform, linear, or lanceolate, 2–12(–15) mm; leaflets 3–5, terminal narrowly elliptic or ovate to obovate, 2–8.5 × 0.7–4.5 cm, base rounded to cuneate, unlobed, margins moderately to coarsely serrate to doubly serrate, apex acute to acuminate, abaxial surfaces with hooked prickles on midvein, glabrous or sparsely to moderately hairy, eglandular or sparsely short-stipitate-glandular along central vein. Inflorescences terminal on short shoots, usually appearing axillary, 1(–3)-flowered. Pedicels: prickles and, often, bristles moderate to dense, recurved, moderately to densely hairy, sparsely to moderately sessile- to short-stipitate-glandular. Flowers bisexual; petals white to pink, elliptic to obovate, 10–16(–25) mm; filaments filiform; ovaries glabrous. Fruits black, globose to ovoid, 1–1.5(–2) cm; drupelets 10–50, strongly coherent, separating with torus attached. 2n = 14.
