Rubus Montanus Var. Coarctatus

Rubus montanus var. coarctatus is a lesser-known species of bramble that thrives in the mountainous regions of western North America. This variant is distinguished by its compact growth habit and dense, thorny stems that make it a challenging plant to identify. It produces small, edible berries that are often overlooked despite their nutritional value. The plant is adapted to harsh alpine environments, where it plays a vital role in local ecosystems. Its unique characteristics make it an interesting subject for botanical study and conservation efforts.
