• Bearberry — The scientific name for the bearberry (strugurele-ursului), a prostrate evergreen shrub in the family Ericaceae, widespread throughout subarctic and alpine regions of the Northern Hemisphere. In a structural and medicinal sense, the plant features leathery, obovate, dark green leaves and pinkish-white urn-shaped flowers, followed by bright red spherical berries; its leaves are highly valued in phytotherapy due to a high arbutin content, offering potent antiseptic properties for the urinary tract.
