Van de Beek, Abraham & Widrlechner, Mark P., 2021, North American species of Rubus L. (Rosaceae) described from European botanical gardens (1789 - 1823), Adansonia (3) 43 (8), pp. 1789-1823 : 88

Rubus enslenii Tratt.

( Fig. 10 )

In Rosacearum monographia 3: 63 ( Trattinnick 1823).

HOLOTYPE. — Enslen, ‘ R. flagellaris W.’, other label: ‘ 1822 I, Rubus trivialis ? ( Enslenii Tratt. ) Amer. bor. Enslen’, W ( W0080003 ).

FINDINGS After reviewing a recent photograph of the type specimen ( Fig. 10 ), we determined that it corresponds well with the interpretation that past American authors ( Bailey 1923, 1943; Fernald 1950; Davis et al. 1968b) have given to it. Thus, we have no hesitation in accepting the present identification.
