Rubus rosifolius, (sometimes spelled Rubus rosaefolius<\/i>), also known as roseleaf bramble<\/b>, West Indian raspberry<\/b>, thimbleberry<\/b> and ola’a<\/b> is a prickly subshrub native to rainforest and tall open forest<\/span> of the <\/span>Himalayas<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>East Asia<\/span><\/a>, and eastern <\/span>Australia<\/span><\/a>.[3]<\/span><\/a><\/sup> <\/span>It is also found abundantly in the <\/span>Brazilian<\/span><\/a> states <\/span>Minas Gerais<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Rio de Janeiro<\/span><\/a> and to the south as far as <\/span>Rio Grande do Sul<\/span><\/a>.[4]<\/span><\/a><\/sup> The plant can also be found in a lot of San Francisco neighborhoods.
\n<\/span>Rose-leaf bramble leaves are compound with toothed margins, with glandular-hairs on both sides of leaflets. Flowers are white in panicles or solitary.<\/span>[5]<\/span><\/a><\/sup> Edible fruit are 2 cm long.
\n<\/span>Leaves stay green and fruits ripen in early autumn in Eastern Australia.
\n<\/span>Although R. rosifolius<\/i> is rarely cultivated, the plant has several uses. The fruit is sweet and pleasant flavoured when grown with good soil moisture. The fruit is also sold at markets in the Himalayas.[6]<\/span><\/a><\/sup><\/span>\u00a0The leaf is used as a <\/span>medicinal<\/span><\/a> herbal tea<\/span><\/a> for treating <\/span>diarrhoea<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>menstrual<\/span><\/a> pains, <\/span>morning sickness<\/span><\/a> and labour pains.[7]<\/span><\/a><\/sup> The leaf contains <\/span>essential oils<\/span><\/a>.[8]<\/span><\/a>

Well, I do not know, very curious to know, searched a found something similar at link<\/a>.
\nBut it is not <\/span>R. sumatranus<\/i>, for the species has 5-7 leaflets (ref. FoC)<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
Just now, this was identified as Rubus rosifolius<\/i> by … on Facebook.
\nWhile I was looking for the species earlier (and ultimately gave up due to lack of further clues!), I had disregarded this one because the initial description in FOC said 5-7 leaflets<\/span><\/a>.<\/div>\n
\n
i am amused because i never really expected to see it in india
\nif this is really a rose than its what we call Cherokee rose
\nan import from china , now naturalized in parts of USA and even has become weedy, and of all things its even a state flower in one of the southern states<\/div>\n
MoBot used to have a grand display, and in fall these weird prickly pear lik hip, never to be forgotten<\/div>\n
they still show picture of the profuse white flowered rambling rose, enjoy it at this url:<\/span><\/a>
\non the second thought if its in\u00a0 in china, then its likely to be in the himalayas and all probability in Sikkim too. chinese herbal medicine uses it for spleen disorders.
\ngoogling for cherokee rose found a binomial: Rosa<\/i> laevigata<\/i> Michx. http:\/\/plants.usda.gov\/core\/<\/span>profile?symbol=rola<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n
\n

…, you may be correct on roses but not on the species laevigata<\/i> if efloras (FoC, FoP) descriptions are correct. Thanks Anurag Ji for the update, I am not a member of facebook-eflora.<\/p>\n

\n

Plants with glandular hairs (can have 9 leaflets) = sumatranus<\/span><\/a><\/i>\u00a0(R. rosifolius<\/i> Smith subsp. sumatranus<\/i> (Miquel) Focke)
\nPlants without glandular hairs, but with glands, sometimes with sparse short glandular hairs on flowering branchlets or pedicels = rosifolius<\/span><\/a>
\n<\/i>for more on the two taxa please visit –

\n
\n
So I am finally taking it as\u00a0R. sumatranus.
\n<\/i>Is it OK ?<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n
Number of leaflets is not at all a strong point to determine the species.
\n… is expected to break his silence and give his view based on his observation and\/or more photographs (if there is any) of this species. The attached photographs in the initiating posts are not sufficient to species level identification.<\/span><\/div>\n

I guess this should be\u00a0Rubus rosifolius\u00a0<\/i>Sm. according to the keys from Flora of Nepal ( Encl).
