Glossary (beta!)

Origin/Endemic status: Native

Taxonomy Comments: This taxon has often been treated as an infrataxon of R. idaeus, but warrants species rank. It is more closely related to R. sachalinensis than to R. idaeus (Carter et al. 2019). In eastern North America, we have R. strigosus var. strigosus; western North America has different varieties of native R. strigosus.
