'''Cloudberry''', '''bakeapple''' (''rubus chamaemorus''), is a rhizomatous herb native to alpine and arctic tundra and boreal forest, producing amber-coloured edible fruit similar to the [[raspberry]] or [[blackberry]]. Unlike most Rubus species, the cloudberry is dioecious, and fruit production by a female plant requires pollination from a male plant.

The cloudberry grows to 10-25 cm high. The leaves alternate between having 5 and 7 soft, handlike lobes on straight, branchless stalks. After pollination, the white (sometimes reddish-tipped) flowers form raspberry-sized berries. Encapsulating between 5 and 25 drupelets, each fruit is initially pale red, ripening into an amber colour in early autumn.

The ripe fruits are golden-yellow, soft and juicy, and are rich in [[vitamin C]]. When eaten fresh, cloudberries have a distinctive tart taste.
