Note:
—The series of African
Rubus
described by
Focke (1911)
cover a wide range of species, without a clear identity. It is better to use the rank of series for natural, well defined groups of species, and the wider groups as subsections. The presentation of infrageneric taxa in this paper results from this consideration.
