wild black berryies

I pick a black berry in late June and early July, that I call wild, in that I believe it is native to B.C. The question I have is what is it's botanical name? The berry is smalll and grows close to the ground.

 

Could it be a black raspberry (Rubus leucodermis)? Or maybe trailing blackberry (Rubus ursinus )?

 

I do not believe it is a wild raspberry as the vines grow along the ground and reach lenghts, of several feet. I would think that the best description of the berry is that it is small rarely being larger than a thimble, ripens in early July except where growing at higher elevations. I believe the berry is more coastal but then again I have never picked them any where else but Vancouver Island. I can post a photo of the blossom soon if there is no identification as I would really like to know the scientific name for these berries.

 

The European Rubus fruticosus aggregate is widely naturalised in the PNW. Could it be this?

 

Wild, small and close to the ground all describe trailing blackberry (R. ursinus).

 

I researched the name and found that Rubis ursinus is truly the vine that produces the Black Berry that I have been picking all these years. Thanks for the information.
