I'm wondering whether @profanity.accountant would be triggered by the latin name of the white-stemmed bramble - Rubus cockburnianus.

One winter colour plant I didn’t mention in my article was the one I think has the coolest Latin name… Rubus cockburnianus

The white-stemmed bramble has a fantastic powdery-white coating on its stems. It does need a bit of space, and you need to keep cutting it back each year.

At Wisley today for a meeting and spotted a Plant From A (recent) Conversation - Rubus cockburnianus. Possibly currently out of fashion?

There's a bramble called Rubus cockburnianus which was named by the botanist who first described it in honour of the Cockburn family and I refuse to stop pronouncing the 'ck' in light of this new information

Cockburnianus rolls off the tongue.

A fantastic morning rummaging around Walker with @Hoyinature.

Chuffed to find White-stemmed Bramble (Rubus cockburnianus) but lots of other goodies to be seen in Hoary Mustard, Blue & Guernsey Fleabanes and Clustered Bellflower. #urbanflora #botany
