Gaylussacia baccata (Wang.) C. Koch. Dendr. 2: 93. 1869-72. Black Huckleberry. A much-branched rigid shrub 0.3-1 m. high; leaves oval or oblong, entire, very resinous; flowers pink or red, in one-sided racemes; fruit black, about 6 mm. in diameter, sweet but seedy. Dry sandy or rocky acid soil, common. in all parts of the State, especially so in the miountains. Often gathered and mixed with blueberries, but inferior to these because of the seedy fruits; furthermore, harvesting is more difficult because the fruits are fewer and more scattered. Forma GLAUCOCARPA (Robinson) Mackenzie, Torreya 7: 60., 1907, having larger, juicier blue fruits, with a bloom, has been found in Jefferson and Hampshire Counties.
