Fragaria nubicola


Fragaria nubicola is a species of wild strawberry native to the Himalayas. It is of no commercial value.

Medicinal usage

Leaf extracts from Fragaria Nubicola have shown promising but limited results in reducing inflammation in joints, which could prove to be a possible treatment for arthritis. Studies have only been done on animals and have yet to be tested on humans, but historical anecdotes and animal testing are promising.

Genomics

All strawberries have a base haploid count of 7 chromosomes. Fragaria nubicola is diploid, having 2 pairs of these chromosomes for a total of 14 chromosomes.
