Rubus sieboldii
Family: RosaceaeEnglish: Molucca Raspberry
Japanese: ホウロクイチゴ (Houroku ichigo)
This raspberry dominates in areas of deforestation up to elevations of around 700m. In early June, roads near town are lined with more berries than anyone can eat. Although sweet, however, the taste lacks the sour pop of more popular varieties, and the berries can be a bit hairy.
