Rubus for ID 290411MK2:
Please help to id this stragler found in the forests of Nilgiris. I also recorded this in forest patches of Kodaikanal. Is this any Rubus species? Date/Time- 10-04-2011 / 09:00 AM
Location- Place, Altitude, GPca.2000asl; Kotagiri, TN Habitat- Garden/ Urban/ Wild/ Type- forest edges [weed] Plant Habit-thorny straggler Height/Length- 1 – 2 m long Leaves Type/ Shape/ Size- ca.15 x 8 cm; 3-foliolate Inflorescence Type/ Size- c. 15cm long; racemes Flowers Size/ Colour/ Calyx/ Bracts- yellow; c. 2.5 cm across I have not noticed any fruits in this plant .. and yes the fruits are edible (local people consume) This plant is Rubus ellipticus Smith of Rosaceae. 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.

Discussing Names of Plants in India :: Gujarati name of Rubus ellipticus : 3 posts by 2 authors. 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 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: Thank you very much … for shedding light on this query, and for all the clarification and information. !!! Thanks for nice words too. . Senapati Manipur
