The Madronia of the Pacific Coast of the United States is an evergreen tree, eighty to a hundred feet high, whose hard wood is useful in cabi- net-making. Arctosta- phylos pungens and A. glauea are evergreen shrubs of California, ^ whose heavy dark- colored, fine-grained (^ wood is used in tur- "^-' "^-^^ nery. The leaves of the Bearberry (A. Uvorursi) of the colder regions of North America, Europe, \ind Asia are bitter, astringent, and medicinal. The stems of the Heath of Europe (Ctei- luna vulgaris'), a straggling evergreen undershrub, are made use of for brooms, and the flowers are jieh in honey. The Wintergreen, or Checkerberry (Gaultheria procumbens), has aromatic fruit and foliage; the latter yields oil in distil- lation. The genus Erica includes four hundred species, all in Europe, Asia, and Africa; many of them are found Fig. 310.
