Corema album, the Portuguese crowberry (Portuguese: camarinha; Galician: camariña); Spanish: camarina, is a species of flowering plant in the family Ericaceae endemic to the Iberian Peninsula, Aquitaine, and the Azores (sub-species), where it may also be considered a different species. Its white berries are known to have been consumed by people in the Iberian Peninsula at least since the Middle-Ages.[2] The only other species of the same genus is Corema conradii, found in North America.
