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