AEDC4B1281B652A6BCEC948678DEBACD.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Rubus dianchuanensis is most similar to R. ovatisepalus Huan C. Wang, but clearly differs from the latter by its leaf abaxially densely white or grey tomentose, bracts in the inflorescence often leaf-like, pedicels 1 - 6 cm long, sepals triangular-ovate and with acute to caudate apex.	en	Wang, Qiu-Ping, Li, Yu-Ran, Huang, Qiang-Chun, Wang, Huan-Chong (2022): Rubus dianchuanensis sp. nov.

Leaf blades cordate or ovate-cordate in outline, papery, adaxially pubescent and with sparse glandular hairs, abaxially densely white or grey tomentose throughout, with sparse glandular hairs along veins. Terminal leaflets cordate, broadly ovate or ovate, 3 - 11 cm long, 2 - 7 cm wide, apex acute to acuminate, base rounded to subcordate; margin slightly lobed or not, double serrate; nervation pinnate, with 6 - 9 lateral veins on each side of the midrib.

Terminal inflorescences racemose-cymose, 4 - 10 - flowered, 5 - 15 cm long; bracts at the base usually leaf-like, simple, ovate, ovate-lanceolate or lanceolate, with similar indumentum as the leaves, 2.5 - 11 cm long, 1 - 5 cm wide, apex acute to acuminate, base rounded to subcordate; bracts at the upper portion linear, 4 - 12 mm long, ca. 1 mm wide, pubescent, with glandular hairs. Axillary flowers usually solitary, rarely 2 - 3 - flowered. Pedicels 1 - 6 cm in length, densely pilose, with dense glandular hairs and curved prickles. Flowers 1 - 1.5 cm in diameter. Calyx grey-green or reddish, abaxially with soft hairs and glandular hairs; sepals triangular-ovate, erect or spreading after anthesis, 5 - 10 mm long, 2 - 4 mm wide, margin grey tomentose and entire, apex acute to caudate. Petals pink to white, obovate, 5 - 8 mm long, 4 - 5 mm broad, apex repand, base shortly clawed. Stamens numerous in 2 whorls; filaments linear, glabrous, ca. 5 mm long.
