- Comments
- Red raspberry is common on mesic or xeric slopes, forested or not, in all mountain regions of the Watershed. Rubus idaeus is quite variable, and in the Watershed collectors have determine at least three varieties: var. strigosus, var. melanolasius, and var. aculeatissimus (with spiny sepals—see photorecords from Church Creek in Rio Grande Co). In the USA, R. idaeus is absent from only California, most of the southern Great Plains, and the Deep South. It follows the Rio Grande drainage through New Mexico to Otero Co, but not into Texas. Note that the red raspberry cultivated and sold in stores is derived from R. idaeus var. idaeus.
