Corema conradii

Corema conradii is a species of flowering plant in the heath family known by the common name broom crowberry.

It is native to eastern North America, where it has a disjunct distribution, occurring intermittently from Nova Scotia to Massachusetts, in the Shawangunk Mountains of New York, and in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey.

[1][7] In June 2001, an F-16 practicing bombing at the Warren Grove, New Jersey range missed its target and started a fire[8] that burned patches of C. conradii where no seedlings had been seen since observations began in 1996.

[7] Areas in Nantucket which have been grazed heavily, burned, and exposed to harsh conditions have wide stands of the plant.

The fruits are collected by the ant species Aphaenogaster rudis, which may aid in seed dispersal.
