Symphoricarpos rivularis

Symphoricarpos rivularis, commonly known as snowberry, is a species of low shrub belonging to the genus Symphoricarpos within the family Caprifoliaceae. This genus, which includes about 18 species, is primarily native to North America, with one species found in central China.1

Snowberry plants are characterized by their bell-shaped flowers, which are typically pinkish or white, and their two-seeded berries. Symphoricarpos rivularis is noted for being slightly larger than other ornamental species, featuring elliptical leaves and an abundance of berries. The genus name Symphoricarpos itself derives from Greek words meaning "fruit gathered together," referring to the clustered nature of the berries.12
