''Rubus novanglicus'' is an uncommon North American species of
flowering plant in the
rose family. It grows in northeastern United States, having been found only in the State of
Connecticut.
The name ''"novanglicus"'' means "
New England," referring to the 6-state region of which Connecticut is a part.
The genetics of ''Rubus'' is extremely complex, so that it is difficult to decide on which groups should be recognized as species. There are many rare species with limited ranges such as this. Further study is suggested to clarify the taxonomy. Some studies have suggested that ''R. novanglicus'' may have originated as a hybrid between ''
R. hispidus'' and ''
R. canadensis. ''
