Rubus ellipticus commonly known as golden Himalayan raspberry, is an Asian species of thorny fruiting shrub in the rose family. It is native to China, Nepal, the Indian Subcontinent, Indochina, and the Philippines. Rubus ellipticus is called aiselu, hisalu, ashilo or aisayloo (ऐंसेलु). It is sweet to the taste, though it is not commonly harvested for domestic use. The fruit perishes quickly after plucking from the thorny bush.
