Rubus biflorus in FOI : 6 posts by 3 authors.
Rubus biflorus in FOI looks different from images in efi site at Rubus biflorus Buch.-Ham. ex Sm.
Also I could not find a match as per comparative images at Rubus‎
It does not look like Rubus biflirus based on leaf and stem  morphology.

I have removed the misidentified species for now – will try to get it’s true identity.
