* (From the fruit may be prepared a highly flavoured sweetmeat, and a rich wine, much 
esteemed in Sweden. Dr. Clarke represents the flavour of the berries as finer than that of 
the hautboy strawberry ; and their fragrance, when fresh gathered, delicious. A most ele¬ 
gant species, worthy of cultivation both for ornament and use; but it will not flourish 
without bog earth. E.) 
t The berries are not unpleasant, and held to be an excellent anti-scorbutic. The 
Norwegians pack them up in wooden vessels and send them to Stockholm, where they are 
served in desserts, or made into tarts. The Laplanders bury them under the snow, and 
thus preserve them fresh from one year to another. They bruise and eat them with the milk 
of the rein deer, (and sometimes make a jelly of them boiled with fish. E.) In the High¬ 
lands of Scotland also they are occasionally brought to table. Dr. Clarke considered 
his life to have been saved by the febrifuge quality of this fruit. In Lapland, 
that celebrated traveller observes, “ Whenever we walked near the river, we found whole 
acres covered with these blushing berries, (at first crimson, afterwards becoming yellow,) 
hanging so thick that we could not avoid treading upon them—Although they flourish 
most in marshy places, their roots do not strike into the swamp, but are found covering the 
hard and dry mounds of earth which rise above it.” vol. iii. p. 376. A sprig of the Cloud¬ 
berry bush is the distinguishing badge of the clan M‘Far!ane. The Caledonian Horticul¬ 
tural Society recommended the cultivation of this plant by seed. Hooker. According to Mr. 
Bicheno it indicates the presence of slate. E.) Papilio Rubi, Phalcena, Pavonia, Fasce- 
litia , and Sambucaria , are nourished by the different species.
