The present volume of iAtlas Florae Europaeae (AFE)/i is the third of four devoted to the large, diversified family Rosaceae and consists of only one genus, iRubus/i. It breaks new ground in at least two respects. Firstly, the species-rich predominantly apomistic genus iRubus/i, has never before been mapped to such an extent on a European scale. Secondly, assistance from outside the Secretariat and the Finnish Consultative Committee was used in the editorial work to the extent that one of the editors was highly esteemed expert in iRubus/i, Professor Dr. Heinrich E. Weber. The preparation of the present volume followed the guidelines and principles adopted in Vol. 13, with the clarification of principles and amendment of the methods realized in Vol. 14. The mapping territories used on the maps of the present volume are the same as those used in Vol. 14.
