Maybe the variety or species or type of whatever growing in the USA is different. But the one growing wild here in the Mediterranean region of Turkey and Greece doesn't have what one would call a " berry " if they saw it. More like a reddish black pepper looking fruit it is. Partridge Berry http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Partridge%20berry Is that the one you mean? (Bot.) The scarlet berry of a trailing american plant (Mitchella repens) of the order Rubiacea, having roundish evergreen leaves, and white fragrant flowers sometimes tinged with purple, growing in pairs with the ovaries united, and producing the berries which remain over winter; also, the plant itself. The fruit of the creeping wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens); also, the plant itself.
