Peat bogs, especially among Sphagnum, in various parts of Eng- 
land, Scotland, and Ireland. Flowers of a bright rose-colour. Cor. 
deeply divided, the segments singularly revolute, on which account 
this species has been by some botanists removed from Vaccinium. 
The fruit is highly agreeable, making the best of tarts. 
[ V . . macrocarpum Ait. is found in Loughton Bog, Mold, Flint- 
shire ; but it must have been planted there, as it is entirely a North 
American species.]
