Astroloma humifusum (Ericaceae) 2:424

Astroloma humifusum (Native Cranberry) is a widespread and very common, low growing shrub in dry places. It is present in almost every lowland area of grassy woodland. The fruit is usually bright red.

Without flowers it may be confused with Styphelia adscendens, which has somewhat broader leaves and large greenish flowers with long-protruding stamens.
