Pernettya (after A. J. Pernetty, 1716-1801; he accompanied <br />
Bougainville on his voyage and wrote "A Voyage to the Falkland <br />
Islands"). Ericaceae. Ornamental plants grown chiefly for their <br />
attractive variously colored and profusely produced berries, also for <br />
their neat evergreen foliage and white or pinkish flowers.<br />
<br />
Evergreen shrubs: lvs. alternate, short-petioled, small, usually <br />
serrate: fls. axillary, usually solitary on slender nodding pedicels, <br />
rarely in racemes; calyx 5-parted; corolla urceolate, with short <br />
5-lobed limb; stamens 10, the anthers 4-awned at the apex: fr. a <br />
5-celled many-seeded berry.—About 25 species from Mex. to the <br />
Magellan region, mostly in the mountains, and 1 species in Tasmania <br />
and New Zeal. Allied to Gaultheria, but the calyx not enlarged and <br />
rarely fleshy after flowering.<br />
<br />
The pernettyas are low much-branched shrubs with dense and small <br />
evergreen leaves and small nodding flowers, followed by very <br />
decorative berries varying in color from white to purplish black or <br />
bluish black and remaining on the branches all winter. These <br />
exceedingly pretty shrubs are great favorites in England, but are <br />
little known in this country. P. mucronata and P. angustifolia, the <br />
hardiest, are probably hardy in sheltered positions as far north as <br />
New York. They are well suited for rockeries and borders of evergreen <br />
shrubberies and also make very handsome pot-plants. They grow best in <br />
a peaty and porous moderately moist soil and prefer sunny positions, <br />
but seem to grow almost as well in any other well-drained soil; in <br />
shade they will not fruit so profusely as in the full sun. <br />
<br />
Propagation is by seeds or by cuttings of half-ripened wood in summer <br />
under glass; also by means of layers and suckers.<br />
<br />
P. ciliaris, Don. Spreading shrub: lvs. oblong to narrow-oblong, <br />
serrulate,1/2-l in. long: fls. solitary, ovate, white: fr. almost <br />
black. Mex.—P. ciliaris. Lindl., not Don. J.H.S. 1851, p. 268. G.C. <br />
II. 10:89, and III. 28:463, belongs probably to P. furens.—P. furens, <br />
Klotzsch. Upright shrub: lvs. ovate to ovate-lanceolate, ciliate, to <br />
1 1/2 in. long: fls. in axillary, secund, rather dense racemes: fr. <br />
brownish red. Peru, Chile. B.M. 4920.—P. Pentlandii. DC. Similar to <br />
P. mucronata, but lvs. not spiny-tipped: fr. dark purplish blue, with <br />
the calyx-lobes fleshy. Venezuela to Chile. B.M. 6204. —P. <br />
phillyrexfolia, DC. Similar to P. mucronata: branches sparingly <br />
hispid: corolla ovate, pubescent inside; anthers twice as long<br />
as filaments. Peru, Chile.—P. pilosa, Don (Arbutus pilosa, Graham). <br />
Prostrate shrub, with densely hispid branches: lvs. elliptic- oblong, <br />
serrate, to 3/4in. long: fls. ovate, white, solitary. Mex.B.M. <br />
3177.—P. rupicola, Phil. Closely allied to P. mucronata: lvs. <br />
smaller, with few minute teeth: fls. on pedicels scarcely twice aa <br />
long as fl.; stamens not exceeding the ovary. Chile. Sometimes cult, <br />
as P. mucronata.—P. rupicoloides, Schnceid. Supposed hybrid of the <br />
preceding species and P. mucronata.<br />
