The beach strawberry, Chilean strawberry, or coastal strawberry (Fragaria chiloensis) is one of two species of strawberry that were hybridized to create the modern garden strawberry (F. × ananassa). It is noted for its large berries. Its natural range is the Pacific Ocean coasts of North and South America, and also [[Hawaii|HawaiTemplate:Okinai]]. Migratory birds are thought to have dispersed F. chiloensis from the Pacific coast of North America to the mountains of HawaiTemplate:Okinai, Chile, and Argentina.[1]
It is an evergreen plant growing to 15 - 30 cm tall, with glossy green trifoliate leaves, each leaflet around 5 cm in long. The flowers are white, produced in spring and early summer. The fruit is edible, red on the surface, white inside.
Its fruit is still sold as a local delicacy in some South American produce markets.
