R.niveus is totally different from this species. I dont think this is Rubus niveus.

Thank you!

Not at all, it can't be Rubus niveus, i have seen its fruit also it is quite different from R.niveus. its leaf and stem characters are totally different.

I am 100% sure it is not Rubus niveus.

Thank you!

Rubus niveus has white pruinose stem and later becomes glabrescent. R.niveus does not 

have tomentose stem with stipitate glands. Also in R. niveus pedicel lacks glands, also fruit is different

In R. niveus. This species has bright red fruit with black dot in in each drupelet.

Thank you!
