Nagoonberry

Description:

Very low-growing plants that are often mistaken for their relative the salmonberry except for some subtle differences. They can (and often do) have only a single drupelet on the berry such as in photo 1, but can have many like most other Rubus species. Unlike salmonberries, they never become a large bush, but some people mistake them for young salmonberry plants. They also have three-lobed leaves like salmonberries, except on salmonberries the middle leaflet has a bit more space between it and the other two leaflets than a nagoonberry.

Habitat:

At the edge of some tundra where the soil seemed more wet. Growing near alpine blueberries, crowberries, and lingonberries

Notes:

While both berries are edible, they have distinctly different flavors and nagoonberries are a bit less plentiful.
