 " Huckleberry." 

 From intermediate pine-barrens to non-alluvial swamps; 

 common and variable. Fl. April. In the pine-barrens it 

 is often only about a foot tall, and is then var. nana Gray 

 (represented by no. 2094 from emanuel Co.). In sand- 

 hill bogs the leaves are apt to be more or less pubescent 

 and it is then var. tomentosa Gray (no. 820 from emanuel 

 Co.). The largest forms grow in the swamps. It is almost 

 impossible to decide where to draw the lines between the 

 different forms. This is one of the best edible berries in our 

 territory. 

 Pretty widely distributed in the Eastern United States, in one 

 form or another, but in Georgia apparently confined to the 

 coastal plain.
