An herbaceous bramble with simple, plaited, and lobed leaves ; stem 
without prickles, undivided and single-flowered. The flowers are white, 
and the berries large and of a yellowish-red colour. They are ripe in 
July, when they drop from the stalk at the slightest touch, make an excel- 
lent preserve, and are collected by Indians, fishermen and eggers in great 
quantities. In Newfoundland I found them larger and better than in 
Labrador. Their ripeness is a sure intimation of the arrival of the Esqui- 
maux Curlew ( Numenius borealis), which comes in clouds from the north to 
feed upon them.
