Taxonomic CommentsRubus vermontanus is accepted as a distinct species by Widrlechner and Smith (2008), Haines (2011), and Kartesz (1994, 1999). Haines (2011) includes R. junceus and R. tardatus, in the synonymy of R. vermontanus, which Kartesz (1994, 1999) recognized as distinct. R. vermontanus is considered a synonym of Rubus setosus by Gleason & Cronquist (1991), FNA (2014, vol. 9), and Weakley et al (2023). According to Abbott et al. (2017), "Rubus semisetosus and R. vermontanus have been treated, esp in New England, as distinct spp., but they are not consistently nor reliably separable from R. setosus." Rubus quebecensis is included here by Kartesz (1999); he had recognized it separately in his 1994 checklist.
