Common (or high) blackberry of North America, of which there are two varieties, R. frondosus, in which the fruit is more acid, and a procumbent or trailing variety R. humifusus, which is not easily distinguished from the R. trivialis of Pursh. The root is covered with a thin, brownish bark, which constitutes in part the r. of the U. S. Ph. The bark of the root, the leaves, and the flowers are astringent. [Lat.]
