Ramus Pomifer (Latin for apple branch) was a constellation between Hercules and Lyra.
It was depicted in the form of a branch held in Hercules' left hand. The also-obsolete constellation of Cerberus - made up of much the same stars - became combined with it in later depictions, with the name "Cerberus et Ramus". [1]
The IAU Working Group on Star Names approved the name Ramus for the star 102 Herculis in 2025, after the obsolete constellation. [2]
