CRANBERRYBUSH 



Viburnum -pauciflorum Pylaie 



Cranberrybush is a straggling erect shrub growing in cold moun- 

 tain woods and along the banks of streams. The few red berries are 

 very attractive, but are sour to the taste, not unlike ordinary cran- 

 berries. The cranberrybush belongs to the Honeysuckle Family, 

 while the true cranberry, a small slender trailing plant, belongs to 

 the Heath Family. 



The cranberrybush ranges from Pennsylvania to Newfoundland 

 and from Colorado to Alaska. 



The specimen sketched was obtained in the Columbia River 

 Valley, in British Columbia, at an altitude of 1,500 feet
