Dear Jim,

Will you go there once again and come back with few picture of fruits and 
plants.

What is the botanical name of this wild raspberry.  Genus Rubus has a large 
number of species some even growing in tropics.

There is one yellow fruited, Rubus ellipticus which has been described in 
Fruitipedia.

I am interested in reporting your discovery in Fruitipedia.
