The berries are 1.6–1.7 cm long by 0.8 cm wide and go from white to a bright pinkish-red as the plant matures. [4] [17] Because plants flower over about two months, many different stages of berry color can be seen at the same time. [17] Another notable cultivar is the 'Wilhyp' or 'Golden Beacon' variety.
The white or pink flowered marsh St. John's worts of North America and eastern Asia are generally accepted as belonging to the separate genus Triadenum Raf. [6] [7] Hypericum is unusual for a genus of its size because a worldwide taxonomic monograph [8] was produced for it by Norman Robson (working at the Natural History Museum, London).
The flowers are pendulous, with a white, sometimes pink-tinged, [3] bell-shaped corolla with five teeth at the tip 8–10 mm (0.31–0.39 in) long, and above it a white calyx. They are borne in leaf axils, usually one to three per stem. The anthers are forked somewhat like a snake's tongue, with two awns at the tip. [4]
Gaultheria hispidula is an evergreen prostrate shrub that forms a mat of stems and leaves that can reach 1 m (3 + 1 ⁄ 2 ft) in diameter and only 10 centimetres (3.9 in) high. [4]
The berry was dubbed "pineberry" for the UK market where it became available in 2010 to reflect its pineapple-like flavor, while still being a strawberry. [4] Pineberries were first sold commercially in the United States in 2012, [ 1 ] [ 5 ] and were marketed to restaurants, bakeries and wholesale markets in Europe and Dubai .
Sambucus gaudichaudiana, commonly known as white elderberry, [2] is a species of flowering plant in the family Adoxaceae and is endemic to eastern Australia. It is a perennial shrub but with stems that are produced annually with pinnate leaves that have three to eleven leaflets, small white flowers and small but edible fruit.
Other common names include prairie berry, silverleaf nettle, white horsenettle or silver nightshade. In South Africa it is known as silver-leaf bitter-apple or satansbos ("Satan's bush" in Afrikaans). More ambiguous names include "bull-nettle", "horsenettle" and the Spanish "trompillo". [2] Solanum elaeagnifolium was described by A. J. Cavanilles.
