All the other Rubus fructicosus agg complex were moved elsewhere, so why start it up again?

there are a few listed in
Rubus fruticosus sp. aggregate
where it lists what the aggregate contains.

Barb, I think this is not sorted out.
I may go back and remove it - there was a firethorn close by which I want to remove as well.

Can we get a bit of consistency on the name? It is a complex of nine or more European blackberries but ‘complex’ is not part of the name in weeds legislation.

both names are listed on CNM: Rubus fruticosus sp. aggregate and Rubus fruticosus agg. complex. I think both mean the same namely the name/s encompass a number of European species.
So perhaps one of the above two names should be removed from CNM for consistency as Mike proposed? Ta W.
