Gaultheria fragrantissima, commonly known as wintergreen, is a highly branched, aromatic evergreen shrub that reaches a height of around 3 meters. Its bark is a distinctive orange-brown, while the twigs are pink. The shrub’s leaves are simple, alternate, and oblong-lanceolate to elliptic, with serrated edges. They are thick, leathery, and dotted with small glands, growing up to 23 cm in length. Wintergreen leaves also emit a pleasant aroma. The shrub produces small, fragrant, greenish-white flowers that grow in short clusters from the axils of the leaves. The fruit of the wintergreen is a capsule, nearly spherical, and is enclosed by bluish sepals. Known for its strong fragrance and attractive appearance, Gaultheria fragrantissima is valued for both its ornamental and medicinal uses. Its aromatic leaves are often used to extract essential oils with various therapeutic applications.
