–  Can this be Rubus hypargyrus?


– it could be. According to GRIN R. hypagyrus should replace R. niveus Wall. because R. lasiocarpus Sm. is correctly R. niveus Thunb. It seems R. hypagyrus has several varieties (like R. niveus Wall in FBI). Would be interesting to know which variety this one is. Similar plant growing in Manali, Nainital, Kashmir is evidently different with larger leaflets (terminal often reaching 6-8 cm)  and whtish to light pink flowers whereas
R. viveus var. hypagyrus (according to FBI) has 1.5-2.5 cm cm long leaflets.


-It is all the more so for me, since i came to California I found a Rubus sp. commonly known here as Himalayan blackberry, and is believed the seeds where brought here in about 1885 and had been identified as R. procerus Muller (is a distinct species now correctly known as R. praecox Bertol a European species) or R. discolor (a synonym of R. ulmifolius) but it is now known that this Himalayan Blackberry is correctly known as R. armeniacus.
http://www.ou.edu/cas/botany-micro/ben/ben230.html
I have two distinct species with me to account for, one clearly R. ulmofolius with pruinose stem, thicker leaves (R. discolor in FBI) and one similar to R. armeniacus found as I wrote earlier in Manali, Nainital and Kashmir. with leaves larger than plant uploaded by .. and with much lighter coloured flowers. Two species to sort amongst the following: R. ulmifolius (almost settled as plant is distinct), R. hypagyrus, R. mesogaeus, R. praecox and R. armeniacus. Perhaps if I find a key to these taxa it may help. Hortus Third, which I initially thought would be useful is no help. It just gives a few characters but no key.

-I could hardly find any inf. on net about Rubus hypargyrus except this with links to upper & lower side of a leaf:

VoF Week :: Rubus niveus at Valley of Flowers:
Rubus niveus Thunb. … (family: Rosaceae)
2 AUG 12
Valley of Flowers … about 11000 – 12000 ft

I think we should go with R. pedunculosus, although there is lots of variation in this complex.


Rubus niveus Thunb. as understood now is the plant with 7-9 leaflets described under the name R. lasiocarpus Sm. and the plant described as R. niveus Wall. ex G. Don in FBI with usually 3 leaflets is now mostly known as R. pedunculosus (syn: R. hypagyrus).

VOF Week: Rubus for Id from Ghanghariya-G.Ghat Trek:
This raspberry was shot from Ghanghriya-Gobind Ghat Trail... the pics are undoubtedly insufficient for final conclusion… still I hope to get some clues….


Getting to see wild raspberry


a raspberry??? or if more ripe ones on the same plant are also bluish/black… a blackberry??


It looks like Rubus


This could be the fruiting of Rubus pedunculosus ??


I think yes …


With three leaflets, it should be Rubus pedunculosus.
