J20151104-0001—Arctostaphylos uva-ursi—RPBG

Arctostaphylos uva-ursi—bearberry. A bit of trivia: "Arcto" is from the Greek for "Bear" and"Staphylos" is Greek for "A bunch of berries"; while "Uva" is Latin for "berries" and "ursi" means "bear". Thus, the proper translation of the name in "bearberry" "bearberry". Arctostaphylos uva-ursi is the epitome of what people mean when they talk of a "circumpolar" distribution. The species is found throughout northern North America, including populations in the Rockies at least as far south as New Mexico; along the Pacific coast southward to Monterey County, California (with a disjunct population in Guatamela), and similar distribution throughout Eurasia. See Wikipedia for more on the distribution en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arctostaphylos_uva-ursi . Photographed at Regional Parks Botanic Garden located in Tilden Regional Park near Berkeley, CA.
