Rubus Micaschistosus

Rubus micaschistosus is a rare and enigmatic species of bramble found in the remote mountainous regions of western North America. This plant is notable for its unique combination of glossy, dark green leaves and striking, pale pink flowers that bloom in late summer. Its name reflects its habitat, which includes rocky soils rich in mica and schist, giving it a distinct ecological niche. Due to its limited distribution and fragile environment, it is considered a conservation concern. Despite its elusive nature, Rubus micaschistosus holds significant scientific interest and is a symbol of the region's biodiversity.
