Plant Notes:Confederate Huckleberry is a native shrub in the Heath family (Ericaceae). It can be found in the southern half of the state. Confederate Huckleberry occurs in moist to well-drained pine forests, around the borders of bogs, and in sand hills, almost always on drier soils. It is a deciduous shrub from 1-2 feet in height. It is colonial from rhizomes. Young twigs are pubescent with curled hairs. Leaves are alternate, petiolate, ovate to oblong in outline, with entire and sometimes revolute margins. The leaves are glabrous to short pubescent. The lower surface of the leaf is glaucous and glandular with sessile glands. The glands resemble drops of amber. Flowers are produced in 2-4 flowered inflorescences. The flowers are bracteate. The bracts are shorter than the pedicels and are soon shed. The flowers are white, campanulate, and have 5 petals and 5 sepals. The fruit is a blue, glaucous drupe with 10 large seed.--A. Diamond
