Not much help but it aint that important........as long as they are tasty!
"Even botanists can get stuck trying to classify some species. As they say, it’s a thorny issue. Blackberries and dewberries have prickles, spread prodigiously, produce delicious fruit and provide a great excuse to get out of the house and go foraging in late spring and early summer."

Seems to be a huge issue among the folks that actually write about such matters!

I focused on this part:


Though subtle, there are differences between dewberry and blackberry plants. The Southern dewberry (Rubus trivalis, the variety that grows well throughout Central and East Texas) is a sprawling shrub with woody, tangled stems that trail along the ground. The blackberry (Rubus fruticosus) is larger and sends up long, arching canes on thorny brambles.

We always used dewberry and blackberry interchangeably. Seems like they are so close, they are effectively the same thing.

At the end of quail season the dewberries were blooming everywhere. Looks like it's a great year.
