Rubus gunnianus
Rubus gunnianus, commonly known as the native strawberry or Tasmanian alpine raspberry, is a species of bramble in the rose family. It is a small herb that grows in Tasmania and bears edible fruit.
Rubus gunnianus is found across Tasmania in mountainous areas such as alpine moorlands, and subalpine woodlands over 900 metres (3,000 ft) above sea level. This includes areas such as the Central Coast, Derwent Valley, Hobart, Huon Valley, and the West Coast.
The fruit is edible. A purple dye can be made from the fruit juice. Members of the genus Rubus are well known for their nutritional benefits of being high in vitamins and nutrients such as vitamin C, potassium, magnesium, iron and copper, while being low in sugar.
