Vaccunium smallii var. versicolor, a
deciduous shrub, 1-2m in height, inhabits forest ridges or edges in
mountainous regions, with branches extending horizontally. Leaves
are of alternate phyllotaxis, blades measuring 2-5cm, 0.5-2cm in
width, in an ovate shape, with small petioles, 0.2-0.3cm in length,
with inside-bent fine serrations on margins, tips pointed, and bases
circular. The previous year's branches' leaf axils bear racemes, in
which 1-4 green-white or red-tinged flowers face downward. Corollas
measure 0.5cm in length, are bell-shaped, shallowly cleft in five,
and the lobes bend a bit backward. Bloom time: May-June. |
