Abstract
The recent discovery of Rubus vagus L.H. Bailey at Camp Ravenna Joint Military Training Center in Portage and Trumbull County, Ohio, has highlighted a seldom-seen species of North American Rubus that, for 70 years, has been illegitimately named. We propose a valid name for it: Rubus beamanii Widrlechner & Riley, nom. nov., honoring Professor John Beaman (1929-2015). A key to the glandular dewberries of Ohio and surrounding states is included as an aid to distinguishing R. beamanii from the other glandular dewberries encountered in the region.
