Rubus pedatus is reported for the first time for Kamchatka Territory, based on the specimens from eastern slope of the Sredinnyy Kamchatsky Range, in the vicinities of "Tayozhnyi" reserve. The Kamchatka population is situated between American and East Asian parts of species area and, most likely, is a relict, preserved in Kamchatka since the Middle Pleistocene, when firspruce forests dominated there. R. pedatus should be included in the Red Book of the Kamchatka Territory.
