Maybe you find a better common name?

I never thought that Vaccinium also is spread to tropical aereas. I saw it in Norway, Sweden and Finnland. But truely it is. Bayucca thank you so much for all your help this night also with my butterflies and Milliped. You spent a lot of time to help with ID's. That is great!

Ericaceae, Vaccinium sp. and I think yours is Vaccinium poasanum and not Vaccinium consanguineum, which is very similar, but has somehow "longer" flowers. Please, verify yourself!
