−'''''Symphoricarpos mollis''''' is a species of flowering plant in the [[Caprifoliaceae|honeysuckle family]] known by the common names '''creeping snowberry''', '''Southern California snowberry''', and '''trip vine'''. It is found across western North America.
+The plant is a tall creeping shrub which bears bunches of red or pink rounded, bell-shaped flowers and spherical or bulbous white or pink-tinted fruits. The fruits are not generally considered toxic but are distasteful, having a [[soap]]y texture due to the presence of [[saponin]]s.
+The shrub does well in warm climates and can tolerate both intense sun and constant shade. It is a plant of [[chaparral]] ecosystems, especially along coastlines. It reproduces via [[rhizome]] and seed.
