Rubus canadensis
Also called Thornless Blackberry, Canada Blackberry, Millspaugh's Blackberry, Canadian Bramble
Rubus canadensis is a North American species of flowering plant in the rose family known by the common names smooth blackberry, Canadian blackberry, thornless blackberry and smooth highbush blackberry.
It is native to central and eastern Canada (from Newfoundland to Ontario) and the eastern United States (New England, the Great Lakes region, and the Appalachian Mountains). It has also been sparingly recorded in Great Britain, in which it is often confused for the many other native blackberry species. Rubus canadensis grows in many types of forested habitat, as well as on disturbed sites.
The fruits of this plant provided food for Native American groups, who also used parts of the plant medicinally at times.
