How to transcribe name in form 'Genus sp. L.'?

• by am.zooni

  #scientist. Not sure how to enter name 'Rubus sp. L.' on label. Transcribed 'Rubus sp.'. Or should I have entered just 'Rubus'? (example on Image ANN00049m8)

  I think this form of name means 'This is Rubus but I don't know which one' - is that correct? If not, what does it mean?

  Yes, it means that they only know that it is Rubus and don't know anything beyond that (species). I would enter it as "Rubus" leaving off the other parts.
