Fruity round, about the size of a currant, red, rather in- sipid. Nutlets, five, firmly united. A berry-like drupe. Foimd, in the most barren places — on gravelly hills and in dry woods — from New Jersey (where it is very com- mon in the sandy pine-barrens), and Pennsylvania to Missouri, and far northward, often covering the ground in broad patches. Digitized by Google No. 14] Heath (Ericacece). 113 A trailing evergreen shrub, two to three feet long, with the younger branchlets erect and from t...hree to eight inches in height. It is useful for tanning the finer kinds of leather. The leaves are astringent, and used medicinally. At one time they were recommended as a remedy in con- sumption. It is the kinnikinnic of the Indians, who smoke it, and believe it to be a safeguard from malarial fever. The little vine is found in far northern regions wellnigh the world around — in Sweden, Lapland, Iceland, Siberia. It is nearly related to the trailing Arbutus, with which it was once grouped generically.
