Dalibarda
Rubus repens (commonly known as dewdrop, false violet, star violet, and Robin runaway, and in French Canadian: dalibarde rampante) is a perennial North American species of bramble, although some sources consider it the sole member of a separate genus, Dalibarda.
The species is native to eastern and central Canada and the northeastern and north-central United States. It is found in Minnesota in the west to Nova Scotia in the east, southward to Michigan, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and in the mountains to North Carolina.
As with its close relatives in Rubus, the young plants make a reasonably palatable pot-herb, and can be brewed as a mild infusion/tea throughout the growing season. The fruit is edible, but decidedly not "choice".
