It is very closely allied to the North-American (occidental) Phyllodoce 

 empetriformis D. Don ( = 3fenziesia empetriformis '&sv2Lxiz = Bryanthics em- 

 petriformis A. Gray). This species belongs to the section Parabryanilms, and 

 thus the old world, not only Japan, added a new section to Ericaceae.
