RUBUS. Cloudberry, Brambles, Shrub dewberry and Raspberry. [Rosaceae]

There are eleven species and nearly 400 microspecies of Rubus recorded in Britain, although only six or seven are native, including Cloudberry (R. chamaemorus), Stone Bramble (R. saxatilis) Shrub Dewberry (R. caesius), Bramble (Rubus fruticosus agg.), Raspberry (R. idaeus) and probably Arctic Bramble (R. arcticus). Cloudberry (R. chamaemorus) is protected in Northern Ireland under Schedule 8 of the Wildlife (Northern Ireland) Order, 1985. Four dipterous miners, the agromyzids Agromyza idaeina, Agromyza filipendulae and Agromyza sulfuriceps and the anthomyiid Pegomyia rubivora are recorded on Rubus in Britain. A single key to the dipterous miners of Rosaceae is provided. See AGRIMONIA Sixteen non-dipterous miners are recorded on Rubus in Britain.
