Title: Introduction Rubus Workshop at the ASHS Meeting at Pennsylvania State University August, 1990
Author: M. Ahmedullah
Abstract:
The genus Rubus, in the Rosaceae family includes blackberries and raspberries.
There are 12 and as per some authorities 15 subgenera in the Rubus. Among these, two Idaeobatus. Focke, and Rubus (Eubatus) have most of the commercially important fruit crops.
Although commonly used by the horticulturists, Eubatus is the incorrect
name for this subgenus.
According to the International Code of Botanical
Nomenclature (1) the type subspecies is named after the genus, without authority.
Therefore the correct names of the subgenera are Idaeobatus Focke and Rubus. Two other fruit crops which are less important are arctic raspberry R. cyclotus and R. chamaemorus which is cloudberry.
