Wintergreen is related to bearberry Arctostaphylos uva-ursi, trailing arbutus, Epigaea repens, and several other native Indian wildflowers in the heath family. Alpine wintergreen, G. humifusa, and salal, G. shallon, are native to the mountainous north-western regions. These plants are all related to each other and they are found in abundance in the Indian subcontinent. Wintergreen is a low-growing evergreen about six inches tall, with leathery dark green leaves. Solitary white, bell-like flowers emerge in summer, about one-quarter inch long, and hang nodding below the glossy leaves. Scarlet red berries follow in fall and are a tasty treat for humans and birds, especially when found in winter snow. These plants favor sandy or peaty soils and partial to full shade. Wintergreen is an occasional trail side plant found in the woods.
The oval, glossy leaves of wintergreen possess the characteristic flavorful oil. This was the original source of oil of wintergreen, which is now obtained from the gray birch, Betula lenta, or made synthetically. Cool, clean, and slightly antiseptic, the flavor of wintergreen is familiar to us in toothpastes, lozenges, candy, and gum. It is also used in some medicines.
