Etymology
Mealberry is made from the words meal (like 'food' or a small helping) and berry, so a helpful way to remember it is to imagine tiny red fruits that act as a little 'meal' for birds. That's why the name fits a low, mat-forming evergreen shrub with bright red berries that attract wildlife.
