Himachal landscape is very rich in different species of Rubus that produce delicious fruits of different colours and sizes. In the following mails I'll share images of some of the Rubus species of Himachal.

Have you got photographs of fruits ?
This plant no fruit yet. I have posted earlier from Chandragiri Hills.

Rubus biflorus in FOI : 6 posts by 3 authors.
Rubus biflorus in FOI looks different from images in efi site at Rubus biflorus Buch.-Ham. ex Sm.
Also I could not find a match as per comparative images at Rubus‎ 
It does not look like Rubus biflirus based on leaf and stem  morphology.
I have removed the misidentified species for now - will try to get it's true identity.
