Rubus deamii, known as Deam's dewberry, [2] is a North American species of dewberry in section Procumbentes (formerly Flagellares) of the genus Rubus, a member of the rose family. It grows in scattered locations in the east-central United States and southern Canada, from Ontario south to Missouri, Tennessee, and West Virginia, but nowhere is it very common. [3] [4] It was first identified in 1932 by Liberty Hyde Bailey and Sister Rose Agnes Greenwell, and Bailey named it Rubus rosagnetis in her honor. [5] [6]
