Rubus yoshinoi
is a deciduous shrub found in fields and mountains in hilly
districts, with branches that creep around, resembling blades of
grass. The stems have sparse prickles. Leaves are of alternate
phyllotaxis and odd-pinnate compounds; leaflets consist of a general
pair, each diamond-shaped oblong, the tips abruptly pointed, margins
serrated. Flowers, red-purple, bloom two each on the branch's ends,
facing upwards; petals, approximately 5mm long, are erect. Fruits
are spherical and 1cm in diameter; they ripen red in July-August.
Bloom time: May-June. |
