PLATE VI. 
Fw shrubs are more extensively diffused 
throughout the northern hemisphere, both in the 
old and new continents, than this trailing ever- 
green, We are told that it abounds in the north- 
ern parts of Europe, in Sweden, Lapland, and Ice- 
land, and extends southerly to the shores of the 
Mediterranean, In Siberia it is also found, and is 
represented as abundant on the banks of the 
Wolga. In North America it grows from Hud- 
son’s bay as far south, at least, as the central 
parts of the United States. It occupies the most 
barren places, such as gravelly hills and dry, 
sandy woods, and coyers the ground with beds of 
considerable extent.
