| Gaultheria hispida
(Snowberry) is a common, erect shrub that grows in wet forests
(especially after disturbance) and also in subalpine woodlands. The leaves
are quite distinctive: toothed, shiny with the veins depressed, and often with a
reddish tinge at the tips. The stems are usually quite red. The fruit
(snowberries) with white fleshy sepals enclosing reddish capsules
are unmistakeable.
