Abstract and Figures

Rubus clusii Borbás is a species which occurs in Central Europe, from southern Germany, Czech Republic, southwestern Slovakia, through western Hungary andAustria to Slovenia. Nine new localities of this taxon were found in southeastern Poland, which considerably extends its geographical range. The results of one study suggest that the present definition of the species range was based on incomplete data, missing its potential localities. Therefore, we expect further extension with more localities identified.

Abstract: Rubus clusii Borbás is a species which occurs in Central Europe, from southern Germany, Czech Re-
public, southwestern Slovakia, through western Hungary and Austria to Slovenia. Nine new localities of this
taxon were found in southeastern Poland, which considerably extends its geographical range. The results of
one study suggest that the present definition of the species range was based on incomplete data, missing its
potential localities. Therefore, we expect further extension with more localities identified.

Introduction
Rubus clusii Borbás is a species from the series
Micantes Sudre of the subgenus Rubus. It is variable as
far as the number of spines and glands on the stem is
concerned. Specimens from semi-shaded localities
are similar to Rubus gremlii Focke, from which they can
be differentiated by having less hairy stems with nu-
merous longer stalked glands; leaves in R. clusii are al-
ways green on the under side (often greyish green in
R. gremlii, Matzke-Hajek 2004). They also have usu-
ally leaflets of leaves with a shorter apex. The speci-
mens from sunny locations are unevenly covered by
spines and they resemble taxa from the series Hystrix
Focke, though the large number of glands and the
more even distribution of spines corresponds more
with the series Radula (Focke) Focke (Holub 1995;
Weber 1995). Its range encompasses some parts of
Central Europe, namely Czech Republic, SE Germany,
E Austria, W Slovakia, W Hungary and N Slovenia
(Holub 1995; Weber 1995; Maurer and Drescher
2000; Lepší and Lepší 2004; Kurtto et al. 2010).
Description of Rubus clusii
Stems most often low-arching, angled, usually
with flat sides, greenish or suffused brownish, with
scattered simple and tufted hairs. The largest prickles
8–12 per 5 cm of stem lenght, straight, declining or
slightly curved, 4–7 mm long, yellowish or reddish,
often mixed with few (to numerous in sunny sites)
needle-shaped pricklets, acicles (somewhat gland-
tipped) and stalked glands. Leaves on first-year stems
digitate or subpedate, (3-)5-foliolate, usually dark
green, glabrous or with scattered adpressed hairs
above, rather densely patent-hairy beneath, without
stellate hairs (Fig. 4). Leaflets ± contiguous to
slightly imbricate, terminal ones with mid-long
petiolules (petiolule 30–37% as long as its lamina),
ovate to triangular broadly ovate, cordate at the base,

riodically serrate, serration 2–4 mm deep; teeth
broad, apiculate, principal ones straight. Basal leaflets
with petiolules 3–5 mm long. Petioles rather densely
pubescent, with numerous stalked glands and 20–30

tufted patent hairs and rather numerous stalked
glands, often with acicles. Larger prickles 8–20 per 5
cm of axis length (Fig. 5), usually slightly curved, de-
clining, (4-)5-7 mm long, often reddish-brown at the
base. Pedicels 1–2 cm long, densely pubescent, with
spreading hairs and 30–50 stalked glands ± as long as
hairs. Prickles 6–13, slightly curved to straight,
1,5–2,5 mm long, yellowish. Sepals grey-green, with
spreading hairs and numerous stalked glands, often
with acicles, reflexed after anthesis. Petals white, ±
elliptical, 10–13 mm long (Fig. 7). Stamens white,
somewhat longer than greenish styles. Anthers gla-
brous. Young carpels with hairs. Receptacle sparsely
hairy. – 2n = 28 (Krahulcová and Holub 1997). –
Flowering VI–VII.

The largest one was found in 2001 in a hamlet of
Maga (1) in the Strzyżów Foothills (2 km ATPOL grid
– EF 7904). Originally a few individuals grew in a
Larix decidua subsp. decidua stand.The site was charac-
terized by the following phytosociological releve:
A larch grove, sand soil, S slope of 3°, area 100 m2,
cover: A 70%; B 10%, C 100%. Trees and shrubs: A –
Larix decidua subsp. decidua 3.3, Pinus sylvestris +, B:
Sorbus aucuparia +, Robinia pseudoacacia +, Populus tre-
mula +, Quercus robur +, Sambucus nigra +, C: Rubus
clusii 1.2, R. idaeus 2.2, R. hirtus 5.5, Calamagrostis
epigejos +, Agrostis capillaris +, Galium mollugo +, Urtica
dioica +. In the following five years the species ex-
panded its cover and large clumps of R. clusii with a
100% cover appeared between the road and the tree
stand. This is illustrated by the following releve:
SE slope (10°), between a road and a Populus tremula
and Fagus sylvatica grove, area 100 m2, cover 100%;
Rubus clusii 5.5,R. idaeus +, Urtica dioica +, Arrhena-
therum elatius +, Solidago gigantea +, Tanacetum vulgare
+, Equisetum arvense +, Achillea millefolium +, Erigeron
annuus +, Galium mollugo +, Convolvulus arvensis +,
Agropyron repens +.
Single individuals were also found in the Niepo-
łomice Forest – Szarów, in a pine-oak forest (2), in the
Dynów Foothills – Laskówka Kimlina, edge of a larch
forest (3), at the edge of the Beskid Niski Mts. – Łazy
near Dukla, beech forest, near the edge (4) and in the
Przemyśl Foothils – Stara Bircza, shrubs near Stup-
nica stream (5). In the year 2012 we found four new
localities: Brzesko–Okocim (6), Poręba Wielka (7)
and Słupnice (8, 9).
Conclusion
They newly found localities of Rubus clusii from Po-
land extend the border pf its range eastwards. The
stands seem to be composed of small, young clumps
which suggests that the species may be actively
changing its general range. On the other hand the lo-
calities may have been simply overlooked.

Rubus kaznowskii (Rosaceae), a new bramble species from south-central Poland
Article
Full-text available
  • Nov 2021
Based on field research in south-central Poland, supplemented with a review of herbarium materials, we identified a stable bramble biotype with a range large enough (190 km distance between the outermost stands) to be described as a new regional agamic species, Rubus kaznowskii sp.nov. It belongs to the series Subthyrsoidei(sect. Corylifolii). Although R. kaznowskii has a unique combination of features, it can be potentially mistaken for R. gothicus . It differs from the latter species in many aspects, including: pruinose primocanes, denser indumentum of the abaxial leaf surface, and more curved prickles on the petiole. R. kaznowskii has mainly been observed on rusty soils, in habitats of mixed coniferous and mixed broadleaf forests, usually in sunny places, along forest margins and roads, in clearings and roadside thickets.

Distributions of vascular plants in the Czech Republic. Part 7
Article

  • Dec 2018
The seventh part of the series on the distributions of vascular plants in the Czech Republic includes grid maps of 104 taxa in the genera Anthriscus, Callitriche, Cochlearia, Dittrichia, Egeria, Elodea, Elymus, Epilobium, Gentianella, Gnaphalium, Gymnocarpium, Hordeum, Hydrocharis, Limonium, Najas, Phleum, Phragmites, Polypodium, Pseudognaphalium, Rubus, Sedum, Senecio, Setaria, Stratiotes, Trichomanes and Woodsia. These maps were produced by taxonomic experts based on examined herbarium specimens, literature and field records. Many of the studied native species are on the national Red List. The genus most affected by decline in abundance is Gentianella, which includes six taxa extirpated from this country and six taxa critically threatened. Another group with a high proportion of endangered species comprises aquatic and wetland plants, which are represented by Callitriche hermaphroditica, Hydrocharis morsus-ranae, Najas minor, Pseudognaphalium luteoalbum and Stratiotes aloides. Other ecologically specialized groups include mainly montane wetland plants (Epilobium anagallidifolium, E. nutans and Rubus chamaemorus) and plants of rocky habitats (Polypodium interjectum, Trichomanes speciosum and Woodsia ilvensis). The previously rare Woodsia alpina has been extirpated from this country. Alien species mapped in this paper include both archaeophytes and neophytes, mainly from the genera Anthriscus, Cochlearia, Elodea, Epilobium, Hordeum and Phleum. Cochlearia danica, Dittrichia graveolens and Limonium gmelinii have recently colonized habitats along the roads treated by de-icing salt. Senecio inaequidens has also spread mainly along motorways. Epilobium adenocaulon is another successful neophyte; it is now widespread throughout this country and the most successful hybrid parent within the genus. Neophyte aquatics are represented by Egeria densa, Elodea canadensis and E. nuttallii. Spatial distributions and often also temporal dynamics of individual taxa are shown in maps and documented by records included in the Pladias database and available in electronic appendices. The maps are accompanied by comments that include additional information on the distribution, habitats, taxonomy and biology of the taxa.

Rubus prissanicus (Rosaceae), a new bramble species from North West Poland
Article
  • Mar 2018
Rubus prissanicus, a new regional apomictic species, is described from north-western Poland. It is similar to R. lindleianus and R. langei, however it differs from the former species by broader leaflets and less numerous prickles on the inflorescence axis, and from the latter by unequally serrate leaflet margin, and from both these species by different types of trichomes on abaxial leaflet surface. Unlike other Polish species of R. ser. Rhamnifolii, in which the indumentum of abaxial leaf surface consists mainly of branched hairs, simple trichomes are the main component of indumentum of R. prissanicus leaves. The new species has been observed mainly on fertile soils, in broadleaf forest habitats, usually in fairly sunny places, along forest margins, by forest roads, in clearings, and in wayside thickets.

Occurrence of brambles (Rubus L.) in young forest plantations on the Kolbuszowa Plateau
Article
Full-text available
  • Jun 2017
In forests of the Kolbuszowa Plateau, bramble thickets are common mainly in young forest plantations and clear-cut areas. 11 bramble species were found in 20 plantations visited during the field study. The most frequent bramble species in young forest plantations include: Rubus plicatus, R. nessensis, R. hirtus, R. idaeus, while less frequent are: R. gracilis, R. ambrosius and R. apricus. The largest patches of brambles were found in plantations established on sites of mixed pine-oak forest, subcontinental lime-oak-hornbeam forest and dried alder carrs. Rubus thickets in young forest plantations occur together with numerous species characteristic of communities classified into the following classes: Vaccinio-Piceetea, Querco-Fagetea, Epilobietea angustifolii, Molinio-Arrhenatheretea and Nardo-Callunetea. Brambles growing in young forest plantations can be roughly divided into three groups: I - species with thin, prostrate and rooting stems (R. hirtus, R. apricus, R. pedemontanus), which may significantly affect the growth of tree seedlings if bramble specimens or diaspores are present at the time of tree planting; II - species with strong, poorly branched and arcuate stems (R. plicatus, R. gracilis, R. ambrosius, R. glivicensis), whose negative effect on tree seedlings depends on the potential of a tree species to produce quickly a high and dense thicket thereby overshadowing the lower vegetation; III - species with erect and relatively sparsely growing stems (R. idaeus), which do not pose any threat to young forest plantations. Species with intermediate biological traits (e.g. R. nessensis) may have a negative impact on young plantations, as they generate large and dense bush, however, in most cases, their populations grow rather sparsely and do not hinder the development of tree seedlings.

Występowanie jeżyn (Rubus L.) w młodych uprawach leśnych na Płaskowyżu Kolbuszowskim. The occurrence of brambles ( Rubus L.) in young forest plantations on the Kolbuszowa Plateau.
Article
Full-text available
  • Jan 2017
In the Kolbuszowa Plateau forest areas, aggregations of brambles were observed most often in young forest plantations and forest clear cuts. In the 20 plantations that we examined, 11 bramble species were found. The most common bramble species in young forest plantations were Rubus plicatus, R. nessensis, R. hirtus, R. idaeus and more rarely R. gracilis, R. ambrosius and R. apricus. The largest bramble aggregations occurred in plantations located in mixed pine-oak forests, subcontinental lime-oakhornbeam forests and drained black alder forests. In young forest plantations the Rubus species were accompanied by species characteristic for the Vaccinio-Piceetea, Querco-Fagetea, Epilobietea angustifolii, Molinio-Arrhenatheretea and Nardo-Callunetea associations. There are three groups of bramble species which occur in young forest plantations: I – species with thin, prostrate and rooting stems (R. hirtus, R. apricus, R. pedemontanus), the negative impact of which on tree seedlings could have been very significant if the bramble specimens or diaspores had been present at the moment of tree planting; II – species with strong, poorly branched and arched stems (R. plicatus, R. gracilis, R. ambrosius, R. glivicensis), which negative influence on tree seedlings depends on the capability of the species to produce a big, dense bush in a short period of time thereby increasing shade; III – species with erect and relatively sparsely growing stems (R. idaeus), which are not a threat for the young forest plantations. Species with intermediate features (e.g. R. nessensis) may have a negative impact on young plantations generating a large, dense aggregation, however in most cases their populations only grow sparsely and do not hinder the growth of tree seedlings.

Rubus Flora of the Durowo Forest District (northern Wielkopolska, Poland)
Article
Full-text available
  • Dec 2016
The Rubus flora of northern Wielkopolska (Greater Poland) is not yet fully discovered, but the recent studies on the genus Rubus suggest that it is clearly not as rich as in case of southern Wielkopolska. The results of the field observations show that the area of the Durowo Forest District contains 14 representatives of the genus Rubus, out of which the presence of four taxa has already been reported and confirmed. Only R. czarnunensis, species endemic to Poland and mentioned in this area in the early 20th century, was not rediscovered. The presence of two species, previously unknown in this area, R. nemoralis and R. seebergensis, have shifted their range limits by 16 km and 30 km to the north, respectively. A statistically significant higher number of bramble species occurred in pine forest growing on fertile deciduous forest habitats.

Rubus zielinskii (Rosaceae), a new species from Poland
Article
  • Sep 2016
Rubus zielinskii M. M. Wolanin & M. N. Wolanin, a new species from south-east Poland is described and illustrated. Rubus zielinskii is a tetraploid (2n=28) belonging to the series Sprengeliani based on morphology. It is most similar to Rubus sprengelii from which it differs in the inflorescence, being leafy to the apex, the larger flowers, paler colour of the vegetative stem and straighter prickles. The species occurs mostly along forest roads, ditches and forest edges. A species conservation assessment for Rubus zielinskii determines its threat status to be Least Concern.

  • DENDROBIOLOGY
Rubus lindebergii P. J. Müll. (Rubus sect. Rubus, ser. Discolores), widely distributed in northwestern Europe, is recorded for the first time from northwestern Poland. Its locality is separated from the closest stands of this species in northern Germany by a distance of about 200 km. The species has been observed mainly in moderately fertile habitats of fresh mixed broadleaf forests, usually in fairly sunny places, along forest margins, by forest roads, in clearings, and in wayside thickets.

Erstnachweis von Rubus ambrosius (Rubus ser. Rubus, Rosaceae) in Österreich
Article
Full-text available
  • Dec 2015
First record of Rubus ambrosius (Rubus ser. Rubus, Rosaceae) in Austria. – Rubus ambrosius, a triploid species of Rubus ser. Rubus, is reported from Austria for the first time. This East-Central European bramble species was found at two localities in forest fringes and clearings in Lower Austria (Niederösterreich), southwest of Melk in the ‘Hiesberg Hills’; these points represent the south-westernmost border of the area. The paper presents the morphological features and the distribution of the species, the characterization of the newly discovered localities and the assessment of the possible ways of the introduction. Based on the geographical situation of the Austrian sites, furthermore on similar distribution patterns in several bramble species in the region, the authors define these occurrences of R. ambrosius as autochthonous. The most likely scenario explaining its presence here is colonization as consequence of a long distance endozoochorous dispersal event.

Chromosome number variation in the genus Rubus in the Czech Republic
Article
  • Jan 1997
Chromosome numbers are given for 26 species representing predominantly the subgenus Rubus (23 species) as well as the subgenera Chamaerubus (1 species) and Idaeobatus (2 species). The plants studied were collected from 84 localities in the Czech Republic (Bohemia and Moravia). Five ploidy levels were found including diploids (two species), triploids (five species), tetraploids (fifteen species), pentaploids (three species) and one octoploid: both diploids and the single octoploid do not belong to the subgenus Rubus. The chromosome numbers in the following thirteen species of the subgenus Rubus are reported here for the first time: R. graecensis Maurer, R. henrici-egonis Holub, R. austromoravicus Holub, R. crispomarginatus Holub (all triploid species, 2n = 21); R. micans Godron, R. caflischii Focke, R. chaerophyllus Sag. et W. Schultze, R. vratnensis Holub, R. centrobohemicus Holub, R. epipsilos Focke, R. bavaricus (Focke) Hruby, R. lusaticus Rostock and R. lividus G. Braun (all tetraploid species, 2n = 28). In addition to chromosome numbers, data on the geographical distribution of the species studied are also briefly mentioned. Rubus caflischii is reported here for the first time from the area of the Czech Republic (Český les Mts). Rubus graecensis was found as a new plant for Bohemia. Rubus micans occurs in the Czech Republic separated by a large hiatus of more than 700 km from its distribution in western Europe; it is also recorded as a new plant for the flora of Poland. The species R. caflischii, R. lividus, R. lusaticus and R. micans are known only from one locality each in the Czech Republic. All earlier data on R. grossus H. E. Weber 1989 from the Czech Republic belong to the newly described species R. kuleszae Zielinski 1996. R. crispomarginatus was found also in Germany and Austria as a new plant for the flora of these countries. A description of a new taxon - ser. Idaei Holub - belonging to subgen. Idaeobatus is given.
