Rubus Arcticus

The Arctic raspberry, Rubus arcticus, (includes Rubus arcticus ssp. acaulis - (Michx.)) is a species of slow-growing bramble belonging to the rose family. Its dark red fruit is considered a delicacy. In the Pacific Northwest it is sometimes called the nagoon or nagoonberry, a name which derives from the Tlingit neigóon. Many consider it to be one of the tastiest fruits in the world: for instance in Russian its name is the "berry of kings" (княженика). It grows in northern Sweden, Norway, Finland, Russia (Siberia), in few locations in Estonia, Lithuania and in parts of North America.
