Mitchella (Dr. John Mitchell, of Virginia, one of the first American botanists, correspondent of Linnaeus). Rubiaceae. Partridge-berry. Twin-berry. Squaw-berry. A very attractive native trailer.
There are two species of Mitchella, one of which (M. undulata, Sieb. & Zucc.) grows in Japan. The native partridge-berry has small shining evergreen roundish lvs., sometimes marked with white lines, and bright scarlet berries, often borne in pairs, which remain all winter. This plant can be easily collected, and is also procurable from dealers in hardy plants. It thrives under evergreen trees, forming mats. Little pans with fruiting plants are often sold by florists in midwinter, particularly about Christmas time. The fls., which are borne in spring, are small, white, with pinkish throats, and are fragrant. The berries are edible, but nearly tasteless. Fls. twin, the ovaries united into one; calyx 4-toothed; corolla funnel- shaped, 4-lobed; lobes spreading, densely bearded inside, valvate in the bud: fr. a 2-eycd berry or double berry, red (rarely white), persisting through the winter.
