Deciduous shrubs
Round or common snowberry
S. orbiculatus Moench
Family: Caprifoliaceae. In its native range, in North America, it is called Indian currant, coralberry. Occurs on dry sandy and rocky soils, along riverbanks and in meadows.
Round snowberry is a rather tall shrub with thin shoots, small leaves, dark green above and bluish underneath. The flowers are as small as those of the white one, and are gathered in dense short inflorescences. The fruits are hemispherical, purplish-red or coral, with a glaucous bloom. In autumn this shrub is also very beautiful - thin shoots with purple leaves are covered along their entire length with red fruits.
