Rubus geoides is a small flowering plant that belongs to the rose family. You can find it growing in the very southern parts of South America.
This plant has been discovered in Argentina, specifically in the provinces of Tierra del Fuego, Santa Cruz, Río Negro, and Neuquén. It also grows in the nearby Magallanes Region of Chile and on the Falkland Islands.
What is Rubus geoides Like?
Rubus geoides is a very tiny plant. It usually grows to be less than 10 centimeters (about 4 inches) tall. This plant is a herb that trails along the ground.
It does not have any thorns or prickles, which is different from many other plants in the rose family. Its leaves are special because they are trifoliate. This means each leaf is made up of three smaller leaflets.
