Frosted bearberry (uva-ursi) bush on the tundra in the Yukon, Canada (@ Peter Van Rhijn/Corbis)
comments,
- Would uva-ursi by any other name smell as sweet?""Ask the bears
- A certain hairy omnivore will devour thousands of berries from bushes like these every hour.""How much food does it take to satisfy a hungry bear?
- For centuries, herbalists have used the dried leaves of this plant for medicinal purposes.""Before you start munching, take some advice from an expert
- You\ll find these hardy alpine bushes across the northernmost areas of Asia, Europe, and North America.""So where does this icy shrub happen to set her roots?
