| Cranberries |
| The cranberries are a
group of evergreenshrubs in the genus Vaccinium Oxycoccus, or in some
treatments, in the distinct genus Oxycoccus. They are found in acidic
bogs throughout the cooler parts of the Northern Hemisphere. The name
cranberry derives from their being a favourite food of cranes. They are
low, creeping shrubs to 10cm tall (often less), with slender, wiry
stems, not thickly woody, and small evergreen leaves. The flowers are
dark pink, with very distinct reflexed petals, leaving the style and
stamens fully exposed and pointing forward. The fruit is a small pink
berry. |
