We have before us the type specimen of Vaccinium Wrightit Gray (in Mem. 
Am. Acad. n. ser. VI. 398 [1858-1859]), which Hemsley (in Jour. Linn. Soc. X- 
14 [1889]) reduces to Vaccinium bracteatum Thunberg. Gray’s species constitutes 
a well-marked variety of that species, readily distinguished by its long pedicels 
but is
