Rubus Pseudoacer Subsp. Flexuosus

Flexuous blackberry, scientifically known as Rubus pseudoacer subsp. flexuosus, is a rare and intriguing member of the Rosaceae family. Native to the mountainous regions of western North America, this plant thrives in cool, moist environments. Its distinctive dark purple foliage and thorny stems make it easily recognizable in its natural habitat. The plant produces small, edible berries that are prized for their tart flavor and nutritional value. Due to its limited distribution and habitat specificity, the Flexuous blackberry is considered a species of conservation concern.
