Rubus amplifolius Tourn. ex Weston

In Botanicus universalis 1: 258 (1770), non P. J.Müll., Bonplandia 9: 294 (1861). — Lectotype (hic designatus): Turkey, Cappadocia , Tournefort 6074 (P-TRF[ P00680424 ]) ( Fig. 7 ).

REMARKS

Tournefort writes on his label: ‘ Rubus Cappadocicus , amplissimo folio, nunc terno nunc quino singulis pediculis insidente et quasi digitato’. On the sheet there is only a leaf without a stem. The leaves are very large, almost circular, and rather abruptly acuminated; underneath almost glabrous, green; the petiole has slender prickles, gland tipped acicles and glands. It should probably be classified under the series Hystrix Focke.
