''Rubus cissoides'', commonly called bush lawyer or tātarāmoa, taraheke, taramoa, tātaraheke in Māori, is a scrambling vine native to New Zealand.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nzflora.info/factsheet/Taxon/Rubus_cissoides.html )〕 ''R. cissoides'' leaves are 6 - 15 centimetres in length and are arranged in clusters of three to five. It is found in forest in a variety of altitudes and produces white flowers followed by mature red berries.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://web.auckland.ac.nz/uoa/science/about/departments/sbs/newzealandplants/seed-plants-flowering/find-by-north-&-south-islands/rosaceae-rose-family.cfm )〕 ==Description== ''Rubus cissoides'' is the same genus as the blackberry and raspberry resulting in several similar features. The bush lawyer is a woody climbing vine consisting of a relatively weak stem which relies on the support of shrubs.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.terrain.net.nz/friends-of-te-henui-group/plants-native-botanical-names-r-to-z/bush-lawyer.html )〕 The bush lawyer is a dicotyledonous plant meaning the leaves consist of a branching vein network. The leaf surface is smooth and hairless, whilst having serrated edges. The leaves are long and narrow in shape, forming in groups of five leaflets.〔 A key identifying feature for the bush lawyer is the reddish coloured hooks located on the branches. These hooks are on the underside of the branch to enable the plant to essentially grip as it climbs to heights of up to four meters.〔 The bush lawyer has a white flower and also produces a yellow to red coloured berry.〔 An interesting fact about the bush lawyer is that it is related to the rose. This is why the hooks/thorns on the bush lawyer resemble the thorns commonly found on rose bushes. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rubus cissoides」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
