Two endemic species of raspberries, Rubus hawaiiensis and R. macraei, growing mainly above 4,000 feet. Both are called ʻākala or ʻakalakala. The juice of their berries provides an ingredient for lavender and pink dyes. Attempts at crossing the ʻākala with the thimbleberry (R. rosaefolius) and the common blackberry have resulted in improving the flavor of the fruit. (NEAL 391.)
