Rubus lambertianus is an Asian species of bramble.
Description
Rubus lambertianus is a lianoid, semi-deciduous shrub that can grow up to 3 metres (10 feet) tall. The flowers are white and 7–9 millimetres (1⁄4–3⁄8 inch) in diameter. The mature berries are red and 6–8 mm (1⁄4–3⁄8 in) in diameter.
The ploidy of the species is 2n = 4X (tetraploid).[2] The plant contains the ellagitannins lambertianin A, B, C and D.[3]
Distribution and habitat
It is found in Southern China (including Hainan), Taiwan, Japan, and Thailand.[4]
In China, it occurs on slopes, roadsides, montane valleys, stony ravines, grasslands, thickets, sparse forests, and forest margins at elevations of 200–2,500 m (660–8,200 ft) above sea level.[4] In Taiwan, it is common in thickets at medium elevations.[5]
