Rubus ellipticus
Also called Yellow Raspberry, Asian Wild Raspberry, Broadleafed Bramble, Ceylon Blackberry, Evergreen Raspberry, Golden Evergreen Raspberry, Himalayan Raspberry
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.
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.
Nepali farmers have had limited success in harvesting and fermenting the aiselu fruit to produce a fruit wine. In Sikkim, its roots are used to treat stomach pain and headaches, and its fruits are used to treat indigestion.
