Rubus ellipticus
Rubus ellipticus or Golden Himalayan Raspberry is plenty nearby Shingkhar Primary School, the school where I had my primary education. I remember having it in abundance when I was a student there. It boosted our energy, satiated our hunger and quenched our thirst when our home is too far to reach. It's said that it's barks and juice has the medicinal values to treat and cure coughs, fevers, colic and many more. This is the right time of the year to have it. But students there might have surely missed it due to COVID-19 pandemic.
Rubia Codifolia
This is rubia cordifolia, commonly known as Indian madder/common madder or btsod in Bhutanese and Tibetan terms. Do you know its uses? Please share here.
