Other alpine shrubs which may be noticed are two rhododendrons, which grow on cliffs at an elevation of 10,000 to 14,000 feet, R. campanulatum and R. lepidotum, Gaultheria nummularioides with its black-purple berry, and cassiope fastigiata, all belonging to the order Ericaceae.

The bleaker the situation, so it is near a stream border, the better the cassiope loves it.
