Rubus glabratus is a scrambling Latin American bramble in the rose family, native to montane areas from Costa Rica to Bolivia. It is a wild species rather than a common garden plant, and little is documented about cultivating it.
Rubus glabratus is a Latin American species of bramble in the rose family. It forms a perennial subshrub. The stems are up to 80 centimetres (31 in) long and have curved prickles. The flowers are rose-colored and the fruit is red.
The genetics of Rubus is extremely complex, making it difficult to decide which groups should be recognized as species. As there are many rare species with limited ranges such as this, further study is needed to clarify the taxonomy.
