    Hi, Is this flower a dewberry? Raspberry? Something else? Itw as found growing in a shaded clearing in the Blue Hills in Milton, MA.

    Answer

    Dear BrooklineBiker, good afternoon. You have photographed a species of Rubus subgenus Rubus (blackberries). I can't tell you which one because some necessary features are not visible in the images. If you have interest in knowing which species, we can communicate about what information I need to accurately determine this plant. Feel free to email at ahaines[at]nativeplanttrust.org .
