Introduction

1. Fragaria chiloensis, the beach strawberry, Chilean strawberry, or coastal strawberry, is one of two species of wild strawberry that were hybridized to create the modern garden strawberry (F. ×ananassa). It is native to the Pacific Ocean coasts of North and South America.
2. It is an evergreen plant growing to 15–30 centimetres (6–12 inches) tall. The relatively thick leaves are glossy green and trifoliate, each leaflet around 5 cm (2 in) long. The flowers are white, produced in spring and early summer. The fruit, a strawberry, is edible,[2] red on the surface[1] and white inside.
3. Its fruit is sold as a local delicacy in some South American produce markets.
