Vaccinium corymbosum, Linn. High-bush Blueberry. Swamp Blueberry. Fig. 3892. A tall handsome bushy shrub, 4-12 ft. high, with yellowish green warty branchlets: lvs. large, 1 1/2 - 3 in. long, ovate-oblong to elliptical, acutish, glabrous, half grown at flowering time: corolla long-cylindrical, 1/4 – 1/2 in. long, white: berries blue-black, of excellent flavor. Moist woods or bogs, N. E. N. Amer. Em. 2:454. Amer. Agric. 1886:364.—Exceedingly variable, and many forms unite the several varieties. Apparently many natural hybrids occur between this and other species, rendering the taxonomy very difficult. V. corymbosum is one of the most valuable species both for fr. and as an ornamental shrub. It thrives in peaty acid soil.

Read about Vaccinium corymbosum in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture 

Vaccinium corymbosum, Linn. High-bush Blueberry. Swamp Blueberry. A tall handsome bushy shrub, 4-12 ft. high, with yellowish green warty branchlets: lvs. large, 1 1/2 - 3 in. long, ovate-oblong to elliptical, acutish, glabrous, half grown at flowering time: corolla long-cylindrical, 1/4 – 1/2 in. long, white: berries blue-black, of excellent flavor. Moist woods or bogs.—Exceedingly variable, and many forms unite the several varieties. Apparently many natural hybrids occur between this and other species, rendering the taxonomy very difficult. V. corymbosum is one of the most valuable species both for fr. and as an ornamental shrub. It thrives in peaty acid soil.

Var. amoenum, Gray (V. amoenum, Ait.?). A form with lvs. bristly ciliate or serrulate, bright green on both sides, shining above. "Mainly in the Middle Atlantic states." B.R. 400. B.M. 3433 (as V. corymbosum). Probably of hybrid origin.

Var. pallidum, Gray (V. pallidum, Ait. V. albiflorum, Hook. V. Constablaei, Gray). A pale and glaucous or glaucescent form with or without some pubescence: plant generally low, 2-4 ft. high: lvs. ciliate-serrulate. Common in mountainous regions southward. B.M. 3428.—Probably a distinct species.

Var. fuscatum, Gray (V. fuscatum, Ait.). A tall form with the mature entire lvs. fuscous-pubescent beneath: fls. virgate, somewhat spicate on the naked flowering twigs. In and about swamps, Ga. and Fla. to La. and Ark.
