A deciduous shrub of the Ericaceae family (APG classification: Ericaceae). It is grass-like, 5-10 cm tall, with thin stems that spread by extending long underground stems. The leaves are alternate, with 2-4 leaves gathered at the ends of the branches, broadly ovate or broadly elliptical, 3-5 cm long, short and pointed at the tips, with sparse fine sawtooth edges, and soft hairs along the veins on the undersides. Two or three bell-shaped white flowers with a pale pink tinge bloom near the ends of the branches in June and July. The corolla is 5-6 mm long with five shallow lobes at the end and 10 stamens. The fruits are elliptical and spherical, 10-12 mm in diameter, and ripen red in September and October and can be eaten. It grows in the forests and forest edges of the subalpine zone to the pumila zone north of the Chubu region of Honshu, and is distributed in Hokkaido, the Kuril Islands, Sakhalin, Kamchatka, the Amur, and Ussuri.
