A low evergreen shrubby plant, which 
grows in many of the northern parts of 
Europe, in cold and elevated situations. 
It flowers in the beginning of the summer, 
and the blossoms are very delicate and 
pretty. They are succeeded by berries 
larger than currants, of a fine red colour 
and somewhat acid taste: these are much 
used in Swedén and Norway preserved. 
The plant increases itself readily by its 
creeping roots. It must be planted in a 
border composed of peat earth and fresh 
loam, and is of course extremely hardy, 
requiring no particular care.
