Pursh provides a full description in Latin. Ewan (1979: 97) excludes the Lewis and Clark collection, considering the two sheets at BM as the type. We hereby designate the Menzies sheet as the lectotype. The figure published by Pursh in 1813 is based on a portion of the Merck paratype. The Lewis and Clark paratype was collected at The Dalles in Wasco Co., Oregon, on 15 Apr 1806, according to the label data, but Lewis describes the plant on 8 Apr (see the discussion under Rubus parviflorus, No. 171 above).
