Vaccinium vacillans Missouriense, var. nov. — The size and 

 habit of the type; twigs and stems green, red or reddish-brown, 

 terete; branchlets soft pubescent, the pubescence persistent 

 until the second year. Leaves dark green, thick, with entire, 

 revolute or thickened margins; oblong or oblanceolate, 3-5. cm. 

 long, 1-1.7 cm. wide, acute at both ends; soon glabrous above 

 except on the veins, permanently soft pubescent beneath, the 

 midrib often arcuate and the leaf oblique. Flowers unknown. 

 Fruit often merely glaucescent or sometimes black, but usually 

 like that of the type. The most distinct variety of this variable 

 species and possibly if the flowers should show differences en- 

 titled to be regarded as a species. — Monteer, Mo. W. W. A.

 or reddish, angled, the first season finely pubescent. Leaves 

 oblong 2.5-4.2 cm. long, 9-1.6 cm. wide, acute or acuminate at 

 apex, acute at base; margin entire, sometimes finely ciliate, 

 puberulent above on midrib, bright green on both sides, thin,
