|discussion=<p><i>Rubus occidentalis</i> is the source of most of the black raspberries in cultivation. See 13b. <i>R. idaeus </i>subsp.<i> strigosus</i> for discussion of application of the name R. neglectus. Also, see 17. <i>R. leucodermis</i> for a discussion of its taxonomic closeness. The morphologically similar species R. eriocarpus Liebmann is known from southern Mexico and Central America, and <i>R. pringlei</i> Rydberg is known from Mexico and Guatemala.</p>
