Description

Rubus dasyphyllus is an arching shrub with a hairy, reddish stem. The stem bears numerous prickles and pricklets, these ranging in length from 1 to 8 mm (0.039 to 0.315 in). Glands, both stalked and sessile are also numerous on the stem. The leaves are divided into 3–5 leaflets; these are light glossy green and hairless above, and greyish and downy below. Flowers are pink, about 2.5cm in diameter, and form a compact terminal inflorescence, with smaller axillary inflorescences. [2]
