Rubus hispidus L.

This plant attracts birds in particular. This and related species in the genus Rubus are among the most important summer foods for songbirds and game birds as well as for many mammals. (NPIN, 2007)

The plant flowers in June and produces poor fruit in August. Stems are generally biennial. (Peattie, 1930) Bloom time is June-September. (NPIN, 2007) Active growth period is the Spring. Growth rate is moderate. Fruit/seed period begins in Spring and ends in Summer. (USDA PLANTS, 2009)

Native Distribution: Ontario east to Nova Scotia, south to South Carolina, west to Tennessee, and north to Iowa and Wisconsin. (NPIN, 2007)

USDA Native Status: L48(N), CAN(N) (NPIN, 2007)

This plant is common throughout in woods, thickets, open ground, and bogs. (Peattie, 1930) Native habitat consists of moist thickets, open woods, and clearings. (NPIN, 2007) Habitat constitutes swamps, acidic woods, and bogs. (UW, 2009)

This is a perennial. (NPIN, 2007) Lifespan is moderate. (USDA PLANTS, 2009)

A great many species of dewberry occur, some with bristles and some with stronger prickles. These plants are related to blackberries and raspberries (both in Rubus). (NPIN, 2007)

Overall this is a shrubby plant. (NPIN, 2007) This is a trailing, perennial shrub. (UW, 2009)

Flowers The corymbiform racemes are few-flowered. (Peattie, 1930) Bloom color is white. The flowers are loose, terminal clusters or in leaf axils. (NPIN, 2007) Flowers are white, and 5-parted. Inflorescence consists of several to many short-stalked flowers in a raceme-like cluster. (UW, 2009)

Fruit are small, a few small sour reddish-purple drupelets (berry subdivisions). The calyx is withering-persistent below the fruit. Carpels are inserted on a convex receptacle and ripen into a compound fruit of drupelets each containing a small seed. (Peattie, 1930) Fruit color is black and red. (NPIN, 2007) This is a reddish-black, sour berry. (UW, 2009)

Leaves Leaflets are smooth, firm, thick, dark green and shining above. (Peattie, 1930) Leaves are gray-green and shiny. usually 3-parted (NPIN, 2007) Plant bears 3 or 5 parted toothed leaflets. (UW, 2009)

Stems Elongated stems are prostrate and beset with backwardly hooked prickles. Branches are more or less erect. (Peattie, 1930) Trailing, woody stems bear weak, backward-curving bristles. The erect branches are. (NPIN, 2007) The first year's canes are normally rooting at the tip. The small thorns are thin and mostly straight. (UW, 2009)

Warning: This plant has thorns or prickles. (NPIN, 2007)

Plant height at 20 Years and maturity is a maximum of 2'. (USDA PLANTS, 2009)

Flowers are 1.5-2 cm across. (Peattie, 1930) Flowers are 1/2"-3/4" wide. (UW, 2009)

Native Americans used various preparations of roots, leaves and fruit used for cough, fever, consumption, as a vermifuge, for dysentery, for diarrhea, and for boils. (UM, 2009)

Rubus hispidus (lat. Rubus hispidus) - gülçiçəyikimilər fəsiləsinin moruq cinsinə aid bitki növü.

Rubus hispidus, with the common names swamp dewberry, bristly dewberry, bristly groundberry, groundberry, hispid swamp blackberry or running swamp blackberry, is North American species of dewberry in the rose family.

The plant grows in moist or sometimes dry soils, ditches, swales or open woods in central and eastern North America, from Ontario and Minnesota east to Newfoundland, and south to South Carolina and Mississippi.

Rubus hispidus (Anglice swamp dewberry, bristly dewberry, bristly groundberry, groundberry, hispid swamp blackberry, running swamp blackberry) est planta florens familiae Rosacearum, in America Septentrionali orientali, ab Ontarione ad Provincias Maritimas et ad meridiem ad Carolinam Meridianam endemica.

Planta est 0.2 m ad 1 m alta, omnem per annum foliata. In humidis vel aliquando siccis humis, fossis, depressionibus (Anglice swales), vel silvis apertis habitat.

Plantae sunt parvi flores, petalis quinis albis rotundis praedita. Fructus est aggregatio drupeolarum, matura rubra vel atropurpurea. Ramunculi sunt rubri et setosi.

Tinctura caerulea obscura ex bacis effici potest. Liquor etiam ut adstrictorius adhiberi potest. Bacae sunt amariores pro usu coquinario, et ergo haec planta est late inculta.
