Notes:
Occassionally called bramble, is commonest in the middle & the south of the North Island, and on the west coast of Nelson. Of course it occurs nearly everywhere, but in the districts mentioned it has in certian localities taken possession. Many means have been tried in order to control this weed, such as, burning, ploughing, grubbing, eating out and planting area in trees. But the inefficacy of all controls previously used is evidenced by the fact that in May 1925 the gov [government] offered a reward of 10,000 [NZ pounds] for an economic method of destroying blackberry.
Specimen notes
Herbarium history:
This specimen is part of a collection given to the Allan Herbarium by Laurence Smith (Amberly office, Environment Canterbury). This was given to L. Smith in the early 1990's by someone in Port Robinson, Cheviot.
The collection is believed to have been collected in 1948, based on several specimens with fully written dates in the collection. We believe that JRK is a student of Canterbury Agriculture College (C.A.C), which is now known as Lincoln University.
