Note 121 — Chapter XVIII
J. V. (Jedediah Vincent) Huntington translation
The blue or purple berry is that which Lewis and Clark call the shallum, better known as the salal-berry (Gaultheria shallon). The red berries are those which the explorers designated as solme (Smilacina sessilifolia). See descriptions in Original Journals of Lewis and Clark Expedition.—Ed.
