Rubus ellipticus
Rubus ellipticus, commonly known as ainselu, golden evergreen raspberry, golden Himalayan raspberry, or yellow Himalayan raspberry, is an Asian species of thorny fruiting shrub in the rose family. Its native range stretches from the Indian subcontinent to southern China and Indochina and the Philippines.
The golden Himalayan raspberry is a large shrub with stout stems or canes that can grow to up to 4.5 metres (15 ft) in length. Its leaves are trifoliate, with three elliptic or obovate leaflets typically growing to 5–10 centimetres (2–4 in) long. The leaves are green, with the underside being lighter in colouration, and the leaf surface is covered in downy hairs.
Its flowers are small and composed of five white petals, with the flowers being arranged in clusters of multiple flowers. In the Himalayas, it typically blooms between the months of February and April, whilst on the slopes of Mount Gede located on the western side of the island of Java in Indonesia, it can flower every three months, but its peak season is on April. Its fruit are sweet, detachable, and highly sought after by birds and elephants.
Rubus ellipticus is sweet to the taste, though it is not commonly harvested for domestic use. The fruit perishes quickly after plucking from the thorny bush.
It was first published and described by James Edward Smith in (A.Rees edited), Cycl. 30: n.° 16 in 1815.
The fruit has various names in South-Asian languages. It is called ainselu (Nepali: ऐँसेलु) in Nepali, hisalu (Kumaoni: हिसालु) in Kumaoni, hisol (Garhwali: हिसोल) in Garhwali, nyinch (Nyishi: निंच) in Nyishi, and sohshiah (Khasi: सोहशियाह) in Khasi language.in Monpa "Sher-Gong", aakhe (Mandeali: आखे) in Mandeali.
Originating in the temperate Himalayas region, the plant's native range stretches from the Indian subcontinent (Nepal, India, Sri Lanka and Pakistan) to southern China and Indochina and the Philippines. It can also be found in Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Tibet, and Vietnam.
It is found as a weed in open grasslands and rarely in forests of Himalayan states of India, e.g., Himachal and Uttarakhand, in their higher reaches at an attitude of 1,500 to 2,100 m (4,900 to 6,900 ft). It is often found in pine forests of the region.
