Chiogenes (Greek, snow, offspring; referring to the snow-white berries). Ericaceae. Snowberry. Creeping plant, rarely grown in rockeries for the carpeting effect of the evergreen foliage and for the attractive white berries; with small alternate 2-ranked lvs. and inconspicuous axillary fls.; corolla short-campanulate, 4-cleft; stamens 8, included, with short filaments, anthers opening by a slit: berry white, many-seeded.— Two species in the colder regions of N. Amer. and Japan. Slender trailing evergreens, in appearance much like the cranberry; rarely cult. Thriving best in moist and peaty soil, in a shaded position, creeping amongst growing moss. Prop. by seeds, by division or by cuttings in Aug. under glass. The American species, C. hispidula, Torr. & Gray (C. serpyllifolia, Salisb.), has hirsute branches and ovate or oval, ¼-⅓ in-long ciliate lvs., greenish white fls. and white berries, ¼ in across, usually hirsute.
