Rubus curtipes, the shortstalk dewberry,[1] is a North American species of dewberry in section Procumbentes (formerly Flagellares) of the genus Rubus, a member of the rose family. It grows in scattered locations in the northeastern and north-central United States from Massachusetts west to Minnesota and south to Tennessee , but nowhere is it very common.[2][3]
Rubus curtipes is a prickly perennial with biennial canes. First-year canes are arching, sometimes rooting the tips. Leaves on first-year canes are palmately compound with 3 or 5 leaflets. Second-year canes are low-arching, sometimes trailing along the ground, with some simple (non-compound) leaves mixed with some compound leaves with 3 leaflets. Flowers are in flat-topped arrays.[4]
