Does anyone know if a lodenberry is the same as a loganberry (named
after John Logan) or a lingonberry (named after John Lingon)?

Zero results in Onelook.com for "lodenberry", and only 13 Google hits,
none of them plant-related. I think it's an error, probably confusing
"loden" with "loganberry".
Main Entry: lo·den
Etymology: German, from Old High German lodo coarse
cloth; akin to Old English lotha mantle
1 : a thick woolen cloth used for outer clothing
2 : a variable color averaging a dull grayish green
A rather fanciful source, don't you think?
I like the name Lodenberry. If I write that book
I've been talking about, I'll call the castle in it
Lodenberry Manor and the duke Lord Loden, or Lod for
short, or Loddie when the main character...
Nothing in the Oxford Dictionary of English Surnames.

I wonder what it smells like? Someone should invent an
Inter-smell-net.
