Arctous is a genus of plants[1] referred to by the common name "bearberry",[2] a name sometimes shared with certain species of the related genus Arctostaphylos, in particular, A. uva-ursi. Although the two genera are related, certain leaf characters, such a rugose-reticulate venation and fine teeth are more typical of Arctous than Arctostaphylos.
Species within the genus include the following:
- Arctous alpina (L.) Nied.
- Arctous alpinus (L.) Nied.
- Arctous erythrocarpa Small
- Arctous microphyllus C.Y.Wu
- Arctous ruber (Rehder & E.H.Wilson) Nakai*
