Rubus fagifolius is a Mesoamerican species of bramble in the rose family.
The species is a climbing perennial sometimes reaching 18 metres (59 ft) above the ground. The stems have curved prickles. The leaves are compound with 3 or 5 thick, leathery leaflets. The flowers are white and the fruits are red, the drupelets falling apart separately.[1][2][3]
It grows in southern Mexico (Veracruz, Oaxaca, and Chiapas) and Central America (Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Costa Rica).[1][4][5]
