Soapberry
Buffalo Berry (Soapberry) grows on a 1-2 metre spreading shrub. The brownish branches have small rusty sport and silvery hairs on the underside of the leaves. The bright red, oval berries feel soapy to the touch. The berries were used by First Nations of the coastal and interior regions fo British Columbia for food and medicinal purposes.
