Arctous is a genus of flowering plants referred to by the common name "bearberry",[1] a name sometimes shared with certain species of the related genus Arctostaphylos, in particular, A. uva-ursi. Although the two genera are related, certain characters, such as deciduous, marcescent leaves, rugose-reticulate venation, and finely-toothed leaves are more typical of Arctous than Arctostaphylos.
Three species are accepted.[2]
- Arctous alpina (L.) Nied.
- Arctous microphylla C.Y.Wu
- Arctous rubra (Rehder & E.H.Wilson) Nakai
