Rubus glaucifolius is a North American species of wild raspberry known by the common name San Diego raspberry.
A tangling shrub, it has very slender, lightly prickly stems that spread and branch outward. The leaves are each made up of usually three-lobed, toothed leaflets, sometimes five. Each leaflet is veined and wrinkly in texture, white on the underside because of a waxy coating along the surface, and up to 5 centimeters (2 inches) long. The inflorescence is a solitary flower or an array of a few flowers with five reflexed sepals and five white petals each about 0.5 cm long. The fruit is a lightly hairy red raspberry.Flora of North America, Rubus glaucifolius Kellogg, 1873. San Diego raspberry
