det. M. Nee, 2010
New York State, Bronx Co., Bronx, along Mosholu
Parkway, in park between Mosholu Parkway and Mosholu
Parkway South, near Marion Ave.
40°52’14”N, 73°52’52”W. alt. 21 m.
Under dense stand of young Primus serotina, Acer negundo,
Zelkova, surely not planted. No plants over 0.6 m. tall, even where
growing over one another. Primocanes prostrate unless in dense
patches, to 2 m. or more long, evidently strongly rooting but only
at the tip. Petals very pale pink, some appearing almost white
from a distance; filaments pink; anthers creamy white.
This collection exactly matches a cultivated specimen at the
New York Botanical Garden about Va km to the east,
obtained from Kew in 1901, identified as Rubus dumetorum
and planted in the Nursery, collected 15 June 1905, W. W
Eggleston & R C. Schneider 23551 (NY). The comment
“Dead” was written on this sheet, probably soon after the
collection.
