Fragaria chiloensis is in the family Rosaceae. Commonly known as beach strawberry, it is native to the Pacific coast of North and South America from Canada to Chile, while also being found in Hawai'i due to dispersion by migratory birds. Along with F. virginiana, this species was one of the parents used to create the modern garden strawberry Fragaria x ananassa, which was first developed in France during the 1700s. Like all strawberry species, they propagate themselves vegetatively through the production of “stolons” which are above ground stems that can give rise to new plants. This allows the strawberry to form dense mats that can cover the landscape.
