Vaccinium ovalifolium, Smith. A slender straggling shrub, 3-12 ft. high, with slender, more or less angled branches: lvs. 1-2 in. long, oval to oblong, glabrous, thin, mostly rounded at both ends, entire or nearly so, pale green above, glaucous beneath: fls. solitary, on short recurved pedicels; calyx minutely 10-toothed; corolla ovoid or globose, urceolate: berries 1/2 in. diam., large, bluish purple with bloom, acid but very good. Moist woods, Que. to Ore. and Alaska.—"This species is very abundant in the N. W., forming a large part of the undergrowth along the southern coast of Alaska. The berries, rather larger than peas, are collected in great, quantities by the Indians, who use them fresh and dry them for winter. The exceptionally large berries and vigorous habit of this species suggest its value for cult., and particularly for crossing with the low-growing species."
