Thanks, Dinesh ji. 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. As per JSTOR, Holotype of Rubus indicus Thunb. <http://plants.jstor.org/specimen/k000737939> is stored under Rubus lasiocarpus <http://plants.jstor.org/search?plantName=Rubus%20lasiocarpus> Sm. <http://plants.jstor.org/search?personName=Sm.> = *Rubus niveus* <http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/taxon.pl?32396> Thunb*.*
Further there are three different *Rubus* *indicus* to confuse the matter as per The Plant List <http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl1.1/search?q=Rubus+indicus>.
