Abstract

Rubus procerus P.J. Müll. ex Boulay was identified as an alien species actively spreading along railways of Moscow and Moscow Region during the early 2020s. This work provides a morphological description of the species, an account of its diagnostic features, an overview of the known localities within the region, and a discussion of possible pathways of its invasion.
