Rubus Schmidelyanus Subsp. Teretiusculus

Rubus schmidelyanus subsp. teretiusculus is a rare and lesser-known member of the raspberry family. Found primarily in the mountainous regions of Central Asia, this plant thrives in rocky and arid environments. Its distinctive dark red berries are not only visually striking but also hold potential for medicinal use. Despite its ecological significance, it remains under-researched and endangered due to habitat loss. Understanding and protecting this subspecies is crucial for preserving biodiversity in its native range.
