There seem to be, as stated by Mr. Mackenzie, three forms 

 of tall Blueberry in the New Jersey coastal plain. Material is 

 not available for a satisfactory study of the flowers as compared 

 with the tall Blueberries of eastern Pennsylvania or northern 

 New Jersey, but considering leaves only we have within our 

 limits, (i) a form with finely serrate leaves {virgatum) some- 

 what pubescent below, apparently restricted to the Pine Barrens 

 in southern New Jersey, although some specimens from the Cape 

 May peninsula are intermediate between this and the next, the 

 serration being- obscure, but clearly present; (2) a form with 

 entire leaves somewhat pubescent below, particularly on the 

 veins {corymbosum) and (3) an entire leaved absolutely glab- 

 rous form {cccsariense) . 



The last two occur also on the Alleghenies of Sullivan and 

 Wyoming Counties, Pennsylvania, and doubtless elsewhere in 

 the intervening country, while a serrate-leaved very pubescent 

 plant was found by Mr. E. B. Bartram, at Bangor, Northampton 

 Co., Penna.
