Rubus rosiflorus

Roxburgh (1832a) also referred to the second Rubus described by Hardwicke on page 364 of the Asiatick Researches paper. The reference to pinnate leaves and Hardwicke’s Rubus idaeus description being the only other one included indicates that this is the plant intended by Roxburgh. I have not traced any Roxburgh material of Rubus rosiflorus . There are two drawings in the Plants of India set (Vol. X nos. 57 and 58). The latter is annotated ‘Sreenagur 2 May 96’, and I select this as lectotype.
