Botanical name: Rubus paniculatus Family: Rosaceae (Rose family)
Heart-Leaf Raspberry is a rambling climber, distinguished by its large
ovate-heart-shaped, finely toothed leaves. Also prominent are branched
clusters of white flowers at the end of branches. Flowers are 1-1.5 cm
across. They have narrow petals which are much shorter than the pale silky-
haired sepals. Leaves are 8-15 cm long, including the 2-3 cm long
leaf-stalk. All parts of the plant, except the upper surface of the leaves
are covered with white or buff hairs. Thorns are absent or few. Fruit is
about 1 cm, edible, with many glossy black carpels. Heart-Leaf Raspberry
is found in the Himalayas, from Pakistan to Bhutan, at altitudes of
1500-2900 m. Flowering: June-August.
