Genus of flowering plants
Arctous is a genus of flowering plants referred to by the common name "bearberry", a name sometimes shared with certain species of the related genus "Arctostaphylos", in particular, "A. uva-ursi". Although the two genera are related, certain characters, such as deciduous, marcescent leaves, rugose-reticulate venation, and finely-toothed leaves are more typical of "Arctous" than "Arctostaphylos".
Three species are accepted.
