Rubus coronarius is an Asian species of flowering plant in the rose family. It is native to the Indian Subcontinent, Malaysia, and Indonesia, and naturalized in southern China and the West Indies.[4][3][5][6]

The genetics of Rubus is extremely complex, so that it is difficult to decide on which groups should be recognized as species. There are many rare species with limited ranges such as this. Further study is suggested to clarify the taxonomy.[7]
