Distribution:
Locally frequent to the east of Southport but scarce elsewhere in the lowlands, occasional in the hill districts.

Habitat:
Ditchbanks and Betula woodlands on the former peat mosslands and in a few acid grasslands and heaths usually near streams and rivers in the hill districts.

Taxon Designation:
South Lancashire Axiophyte.

Comments:
More frequent than Rubus bertramii with which this species grows occasionally. Old records for this species from the Manchester area probably refer to members of the 'Rubus accrescens complex'.
