Vaccunium smallii,
a deciduous shrub growing to 1-1.5m in height, inhabits forest edges
or shrublands. With petioles densely short-haired, leaves are of
alternate phyllotaxis in the shape of a long oblong or oval-oblong,
margins having a bend, with sharply pointed, fine serrations.
Flowers, 1-4 in number, bloom facing downward in racemes borne at
leaf axils on previous year's branches. Corollas are 6-7mm long,
bell-shaped, shallowly cleft in five, and each lobe bends backward
at the tips. Bloom time: June-July. |
