 Ericaceae. Broadleaf pernettya. 



According to W. J. Bean (Trees and Shrubs 

 Hardy in the British Isles, vol. 2, p. 127), this is 

 one of the finest ornamental shrubs, native to 

 South America about the Straits of Magellan. 

 It is one of the hardiest from that continent, 

 and is rarely injured by frost in the neighborhood 

 of London. The shrub is evergreen, 2 to 5 feet 

 high, and spreads freely by suckers, forming 

 ultimately a dense, low thicket. The white 

 nodding flowers, one-fourth of an inch long, are 

 produced singly in the axils of the leaves at the 

 ends of the shoots. The round berries, up to 

 half an inch in diameter, vary in color from white 

 to pink, lilac-crimson purple, or almost black, 

 and remain on the branches throughout the 

 winter and following spring. At Kew, near 

 London, the berries are untouched by the birds.
