Rubus rolfei
Rubus hayata-koidzumii is probably better known by the (illegitimate) synonym Rubus calycinoides or as Creeping Raspberry. It is a low-growing member of the genus Rubus which also includes better known edibles such as the blackberry, raspberry, boysenberry, and thimbleberry.

Description
White flowers are borne in early summer, followed by aggregate fruits. Creeping raspberry fruits are similar in appearance to blackberries or red raspberries, but differ in that their color is yellow to orangish-red.
At the table
Plants are sometimes used to form a low growing, non-invasive, semi-evergreen to evergreen groundcover. Cultivars such as 'Emerald Carpet' are common in the plant trade. The fruits are edible.
