Molucca raspberry
Rosaceae
- Range
- From mainland Japan(west of Kanto) to the Ryukyu Islands
This evergreen perennial thrives in sunny locations such as roadsides and secondary forests. As a member of the raspberry genus, it bears red fruits in spring. In the past, children enjoyed snacking on these fruits alongside those of R. grayanus and R. okinawensis, which bear fruit around the same time. However, it has long been said that habu vipers may be found beneath this plant, so be cautious when picking!
Habitat of This Animal:
B:Forest along the mountain ridge - B2:Deep forest
As time passes from the felling of trees, trees in the forest will grow taller and thicker. Tall trees like Castanopsis, a representative tree of forests in Tokunoshima Island, form the forest canopy. Different layers of plants are formed beneath it, including medium-to-small trees and bottom weeds, and the forest floor becomes gradually darker. Through such a process, the forest will become deeper, supporting the fauna of Tokunoshima Island.
