Empetrum nigrum.

The black crowberry (Empetrum nigrum) may also be seen amongst those bearing black fruit.

The area is marked by sandy flats, beaches and dry crowberry (Empetrum nigrum) tundra.

In subarctic areas, Empetrum nigrum has been a vital addition to the diet of the Inuit and the Sami.

Blueberries and crowberries (Empetrum nigrum), harvested in the autumn, often garnish cakes and other desserts.

In Maine it is associated with Empetrum nigrum, Pinus rigida, and small oaks.

The larva feed on the leaves of various low-growing plants, including Betula nana and Empetrum nigrum.

But Itämies and Várkonyi reported (in 1997) the larvae on Empetrum nigrum ssp.

Empetrum nigrum, Carex binervis, Lychnis dioica.

Examples are Empetrum nigrum, Ilex vomitoria, and Vaccinium ovatum.

He showed that the tetraploid Empetrum hermaphroditum is a separate species from the diploid Empetrum nigrum.

Black Crowberry (Empetrum nigrum; Juodoji varnauogė)

On higher ground, to the west, dwarf shrubs such as cloudberry, Rubus chamaemorus, and crowberry, Empetrum nigrum, are more frequent.

Crowberries are also occasionally grown as ornamental plants in rockeries, notably the yellow-foliage cultivar Empetrum nigrum 'Lucia' (photo, left).

Empetrum nigrum, crowberry or black crowberry, is a species of Empetrum which is native to most northern areas of the northern hemisphere.

In the park four 'heath species' are rather common: Calluna vulgaris, Erica tetralix Empetrum nigrum and Andromeda polifolia.

The larvae feed on the leaves of Calluna species (including Calluna vulgaris), Empetrum nigrum and Dryas octopetala.

Sedge plants include Eriophorum angustifolium and Carex species, while the dominant shrubs are ericas such as crowberry (Empetrum nigrum).

Also important in the breeding season diet are fruits, largely black crowberry (Empetrum nigrum), mountain bearberry (Arctostaphylos alpina) and various Vaccinium spp.

Other recorded food plants include Betula species (including Betula nana) Vaccinium uliginosum, Ledum palustre and Empetrum nigrum.

Open species-rich grasslands with Ranunculus,Plantago maritima, P. major, Thalictrum, and scattered Juniperus and Empetrum nigrum -dominated heaths were probably widespread.

The larvae feed on various herbaceous plants, including Potentilla, Thymus, Andromeda polifolia and possibly Empetrum nigrum, Rubus chamaemorus and Vaccinium uliginosum.

The undergrowth is mostly covered with mosses and lichens, in particular reindeer lichen, and also with Vaccinium myrtillus, Empetrum nigrum and cowberry (Vaccinium vitis-idaea).

In the summer grounds they feed on a range of plants including the roots of hellebore (Veratrum misae), seeds of Empetrum nigrum as well as small rodents (lemmings and voles), earthworms and fish.
