Fragaria nubicola is a species of wild strawberry native to the Himalayas. It is of no commercial value.[1][2]

Medicinal usage

[edit]

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

[edit]

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.[1][2]
