Roadside verges, canal banks and bridletracks bordered by drystone walls..
Taxon Designation:
South Lancashire Axiophyte.
Comments:
This species can be confused with Rubus wirralensis which can on occasions have sparsely hairy anthers, although this is a rare feature. Plants originally thought to be this species that occur along a mossland lane at Woolston (SJ6689, 1995) were later determined as Rubus mucronatiformis.
