Rubus andrewsianus,common nameAndrews' blackberry,[1]is an uncommon North American species offlowering plantin therose family.It is found in scattered locations in the northeastern and east-central United States (Massachusetts,Connecticut,New York,New Jersey,Pennsylvania,Maryland,West Virginia).[2][3]
The genetics ofRubusis extremely complex, so that it is difficult to decide on which groups should be recognized as species. There are many rare species with limited ranges such as this. Further study is suggested to clarify the taxonomy.[4]
