The berries make excellent sauce, and the finest quality of vinegar; much eaten by Indians. Manzanita is a Spanish narns, tm> di- minutive of manzana (apple), hence means a “little apple.’ The name is generally applied to all the species of Arctostaphylos, and a writer in Mee- han’s Monthly (8:85) uses the name Ar- batus Menziesii. The manzanita once so common on the mesas back of San Diego, is Arctostaphylos bicolor. The shrub to which the name more especial- ly belongs in California, and which sometimes becomes a small tree, is that named Arctostaphylos manzanita by Dr. Charles Christopher Parry—-the A. pungens of the earlier writers on Daphnidosta- The West American Scientist —X. 106 California botany. This manzanita is common from Mexico to Orezvon, through the foothills and mountains, in dry, rocky soil. The fruit is a dull red, mealy, and pleasantly sub-acid, well- named by the Mexicans the ‘‘little ep- ple,’ though botanically a near rela- tive of the cranberry instead of the apple. The Indians gather the fruit in September in great quantities for fvod, and it is eaten freely by animals and birds. It makes excellent jelly, and the finest flavored vinegar, as clear as water, may be prepared from the fruit. The numerous other varieties of man- zanitas all produce more or less simi- lar edible fruit. and are all mos ly small, stragely evergreen shrubs, graceful in their own peculiar way, and bearing in earliest spring time a pro- fusion of lovely white blossoms, some- times blushing a rosy red in a snow- storm. : ARCTOSTAPHYLOS PRINGLE!
