I have a question for … or any body that may know:
I may not not know that, but growing very commonly in California is a species of Rubus which is commonly known as Himalayan blackberry commonly sold in stores as blackberry and favourite of Americans for its large nearly 2-2.5 cm size fruits, relished as much as strawberry. This was earlier named as Rubus procerus or R. fruticosus, believed to have been introduced from India. Recently it has been correctly identified to be an Armenian species R. armeniacus (syn: R. procerus auct (non Muell.) Focke and now also goes under the name of Armenian blackberry, but name himalayan blackberry sticks.
Incidently the R.fruticosus growing in Kashmir and some other parts of Himalayas is also a distinct species R. ulmifolius.
yes the himalayan blackberry is known in the northeastern states simply as black raspberry… starts as red and turns black as it ripens….quite sweet when ripest… there are several patches where they grow naturally, we try to keep them a secret along our walking paths in the wilderness, so that we may occasionally enjoy a sweet snack if hungry on the trail… And they were originally introduced in California to keep off the animals and intruders from orchards and farmland, usually used as fences because of their strong sharp prickles.

Nice pictures! We used to collect its fruits daily in summer in my hometown Karan Prayag (Chamoli). These are really delicious when ripe but the harvest was only after many scratches on skin; curved spines only to blame.
Thank you very much … for the appreciation and experiences.
Yes. The sight of this plant’s armed nature made me capture a few pictures. Just no escaping from getting scraped by those fierce spines !!

Rubus ellipticus Sm.
at Eravikulam National Park on June 4, 2014 Yes, these images belong to Rubus ellipticus, but one of your above image shows purple coloured flowers (matured flower buds), usually corolla white; but one population showed purple corolla, an interesting! Many thanks … for validating the ID. Indeed my mistake in labeling that particular image as R. ellipticus. I will check and correct it in my flickr notes.

Attachments (2) In my recent visit to Karan Prayag (Chamoli) I was able to enjoy fruits of this plant Rubus ellipticus (Rosaceae). It reminded the childhood days when collecting these fruits was a routine in every morning in summers.
Superb photography, …, along with nice details. I think Rubus ellipticus and Pyracantha crenulata are the most preferred wild fruits of Rosaceae, especially in Himalayan Hills. Wild Fruits from Shimla ATJUNE2016/33 : 3 posts by 2 authors. No images as attachments.

Discussing Names of Plants in India :: Gujarati name of Rubus ellipticus : 3 posts by 2 authors.
the name for Rubus ellipticus Sm. is “shunu mukram“. This name is found mentioned in many sites, however seems quite challenging to find the name in native script through Gujarati lexicons. Perhaps some typo.
Please help; will be glad to get the name in native script.
Colloquially, raspberries are usually called as such in Gujarati, variously transliterated as રાઝબરી, રાસ્પબરી, રાસ્પબેરી etc. In fact, Gauriphal / ગૌરીફળ has been included in modern-day Gujarati lexicons to refer to some Rubus spp.
I’m clueless about this “shunu mukram”. Equally puzzling is Rubus moluccanus; in some web sites, the Gujarati (?) name of this species has been mentioned as “shumukan khasheba“! I doubt if these are the Gujarati names of these plants.
Thanks very much … for this clarification. Me too had a feeling that these words “shunu mukram” do not belong to Gujarati. Perhaps some words of foreign language mixed inadvertently, and must have got copy-pasted in several sites. I am not sure whether this wild-growing high altitude plant is found distributed in Gujarat. I will therefore not put any name for Gujarati at present.
Thank you once again. This name was thoroughly intriguing!
I am happy to say that the mystery of this name “shunu mukram” is finally resolved! The correct name is Shumu-mukram or Shumu-mukhram in Kachari language in Assam. The reference is Flora of Assam, vol 2, by UN Kanjilal, PC Kanjilal and A Das, page 196. I am attaching the relevant portion. The reference is available for free download here: Attachments (1)
Thank you very much … for shedding light on this query, and for all the clarification and information. !!! Thanks for nice words too. All this is due to your motivation.
