Common Name: Cloudberry
Latin Name: Rubus chamaemorus
Family: Rosaceae (Rose family)
Description
The cloudberry, also known as nowtberry, knoutberry and naughtberry in North Yorkshire, is a relative of the blackberry bramble and the raspberry. It is a small herbaceous plant, with hairs not prickles on its stems and its infrequent large white flowers develop into tasteless orange fruit when ripe.
Cloudberry grows on peaty moors and bogs on mountains in northern Britain. In the Yorkshire Dales National Park cloudberry is locally abundant on peaty ground on fells above 550m in the central and northern areas of the National Park. It is said to be prolific on the Knoutberry and Naughtberry Hills in Wensleydale.
