The genetics of Rubus is extremely complex, so that it is difficult to decide on which groups should be recognized as species. There are many rare species with limited ranges such as this. Further study is suggested to clarify the taxonomy.[4]
In Minnesota, Rubus Multifer is listed as a State Special Concern species, where it is found in indigenous oak savanna environments.[5]
