Rosaceae Week_Rubus mollucanus_RKC06_03102011: Rubus mollucanus for you. Loc.: Yingkyong, Upper Siang district (ca 550msl), Arunachal Pradesh Date: October, 2005. Locally called as "Tapa-Tara" by Adi community. Fruits are edible. Sorry for the Typo error... The name should be R. moluccanus L. I think we need need to recheck the identity... as "The Plant List" mentions the name as 'Unresolved'. However, the name has been frequently used in many floras of NE India. Comments plz. Where The Plant List say Unresolved, it is better to just ignore it till they have a conclusion. For them most Indian names are unresolved. Blackberry or Rubus molluccanus of Rosaceae (To be validate ) Vernacular : Nukkatte, Nuccatte (Kannada, Kodagu) https://groups.google.com/group/indiantreepix/browse_thread/thread/d9... Looks like R. moluccanus to me...but not sure about its distribution in S. India.

Not too sure of sp. though. Must check with local flora. Vernacular name : Nuccatte / Nukkate - (Probably the name is in coorg/Kodagu language) When botanists identify this fruit as black berry, locals question - the fruit is Red why don't you call Red berry ? It turns black/dark red (according to place, shade etc.) when it fully ripened, as we can see in the first picture. Rubus moluccanus to me also
RUBUS SP: If you have visted Tezpur (Assam) and have been to a Hillock called Bhomraguri (at the bank of mighty Brahmaputra, in fact it is next to the bridge.), you know how rich is the area in terms of flora. There I came across a plant whose leaves attracted my attention. I came to know it is a type Raspberry. But not sure about the identity. I found one similar plant at Cooch Behar. Attaching two images of fruiting branch of the plant. I think Rubus moluccanus L. Yes, I agree. However, It is found in various forms which are very difficult to separate out from one another. Commonly occurring in Assam.

Taxonomy of Rubus is very confusing. I could not find any refrence on net (in books (old or new) or in efloras or in any good reliable source) for Rubus indicus Thunb. This is really surprising.

In that book there is an image of Rubus moluccanus which is similar to the images sent by ... I have seen this plant At Tezpur and I found the same plant at Cooch Behar. In the book I am referring there is no mention of Rubus indicus. May be that book is of 1964 vintage, and there are lots of change since then. Thanks ... As per India Biodiversity Portal the distribution of this plant is Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Thus there is possibility it may not be listed in Edible Wild plants of The Himalayas.

Pictures were shot at Kakani Nepal on 29 July 2016 at 6000 ft. Appears so. As a non botanist , I try to identify plants with plates given in books. I have got two books on plants of India. These are, (a) THE USEFUL PLANTS OF INDIA (CSIR Publication) (b) EDIBLE WILD PLANTS OF THE HIMALAYAS (R L BADHWAR AND R R FARNANDEZ, Forest Research Institute) In these books there is no mention of Rubus indicus. But Rubus Indicus is there in Google. In both the above mentioned books Rubus moluccanus is mentioned. This is how the plant is described in book at (b) "A prickly shrub. Leaves 5-20 cm across, digitately 3-7 lobed, with wrinkled upper surface; edges toothed. Flowers white, 1.2-2.5 cm across. Fruit round, fleshy, red or scarlet. Distribution: Himalayas from Kumaon to Sikkim at altitudes of 900- 2100 m and in Assam up to 1950 m. Season : All the year round " As per book at (a) the plant is known as KATSOI (Kumaon), SUFOKJI (Lepcha) and BIPEN KANTA (Nepal). To me the images sent by ... is of Rubus moluccanus and not of Rubus indicus. According to the following links all 4 names looks synonyms. As such, we can take it as R. rugosus as listed in Nepal publications. Any further enlightening is welcome. As Catalogue of Life 28th July 2016, Rubus moluccanus L. does not have any distribution in India, while it gives distribution of Rubus indicus as per link. Frankly, I had gone by the placard at Eravikulam National Park. My two posts in this group are: I too am not clear about relation/ difference between R. indicus and mollucanus. Shall we say facts given in a publication of CSIR and a publication by Forest Research Institute are wrong? In that case some one should apprise them about the misinformation so that non botanists are enlightened. When were these books published ? Lot of changes has happened in the recent past due to rapid changes in taxonomy. Rubus moluccanus in view of discussions in the thread. Adding some fresh pictures of the same plant for the final verdict on it. Attachments (10) Rubus indicus or Rubus moluccanus or both : 5 posts by 2 authors. There was lot of discussions in the matter in a recent thread. After seeing & adding all images of all the members at efi pages at Rubus indicus & Rubus moluccanus as well as after perusal of images at FOI links as below: I feel that all these images are of the same plant. I could not find any differences between the two species on net. As per the following links, there is no distribution in India of Rubus moluccanus except in Andmans & Nicobar. However, the following links give its distribution in Himalayas & India. However, very little details are available on net about Rubus indicus. The distribution of Rubus indicus is given in India, Sri Lanka & Thailand as per Catalogue of Life & GBIF. India Biodiversity Portal gives its distribution in Indo-Malesia with Notes: Western Ghats, Evergreen Forests. After doing all this research, I feel there is only one species & it should be Rubus moluccanus Your feedback in the matter will make me take a suitable decision. Enclosing exerpts from two major books of Nepal which would clarify that all three are same. Request your further opinion. Attachments (4) Thanks, ... I think that settles the issue
DESIGN OF A CARD : USE OF LEAF/PETAL/SEED : 4 posts by 4 authors. Attachments (1) You will not have to be a botanist to appreciate beauty of plant kingdom. If some one knows names (not necessarily botanical) of some trees on the road side or in the countryside, his walk will be more enjoyable even if he happens to be walking alone. He will not feel loneliness as he will be able to make a rapport with the known trees. This was the motivation which initiated me to find out identity of a plant (Not from botanical point of view but from esthetic point of view). I use leaves of different shapes to design my cards. To add color I use petals of different flowers. One of the leaf I use quite often is of Rubus moluccanus. I saw this plant for the first time at a place called BHOMRAGURI (on the bank of mighty Brahmaputra at Tezpur). In shape of the leaf I see the outline of face of Goddess Durga as depicted in popular images. I saw this plant even at Cooch Behar. Attaching scanned copy of a card in which Leaf of Rubus moluccanus is used along with seeds of Aristolochia ringens and cut pieces of scales of bamboo. Thanks, ... Beautifully brought out & interpreted. ... very nice depiction and beautiful art, ... !!

Fwd: RUBUS MOLUCCANUS : 1 post by 1 author. Attachments (1) I was at Tezpur during 2001-2003. A beautiful place on the bank of mighty Brahamaputra. On almost every sun day and on holidays, I used to roam around on bicycle to observe plants, butterflies birds etc. The area is rich in biodiversity. Those were the days I used to collect leaves of different shapes to be used for designing cards. There is a hillock Bhomraguri on the bank of the river (on which the bridge connecting Tezpur and Nogaon is standing). This was one of my favorite place. On one such trip I saw this plant with leaves of distinct cut (as if it is the outline of the image of Goddess Durga), I collected some leaves from there. As I am a man with no botanical background, I did not know the identity. Those days I could lay hand on an excellent book EDIBLE WILD PLANTS OF THE HIMALAYAS. It was written by Shri R L Badhwar and Dr. R R Farnandez. Both from Forest Research Institute. The book is of 1964 vintage. It was gifted to the Armed forces. This is what then Chief of the General staff of that time said about the book. " The troops on our Northern and Eastern borders have to be trained for mountainous terrain and jungles and may have to operate in small parties in difficult and inaccessible areas. These areas, generally, have poor communications and are cut off from habitation. It is with a view to help troops operating in such areas that this General Staff publication on "EDIBLE WILD PLANTS OF THE HIMALAYAS" is published. Some 450 different plants have been described in the pamphlet and a knowledge of these will provide a vast choice to meet the primary needs of hunger. " This book helped me to identify this plant. I find few plants in a place called Mahis Bathan near Cooch Behar. At times I go there. But as the place is at a distance my trips are very few. Other day I saw a Red vented Bulbul relishing the fruits of this plant. Attaching a collage with leaves, flowers and fruit of the plant.
