Vaccinium simulatum Small

There is a complicated story in the Cumberlands
and its outliers which is by no means unraveled*
In this region, simulatua very often goes into non-
glaucous fruited phases — in fact, in the Blue Ridge
region, it is not particularly unusual to find isolated
valleys where simulating is also dark fruited, and
it is seldom really very glaucous except where it
has access to the genes of altomontanum* This brings
up the question: What is the relation of this material
to the Ozarkian V* viride? THAT is certainly a problem
for the future* But the more I look into the matter
the more I see viride and pallidum being involved
in the production of simulatum* We have been too
concerned with the Virginia and North Carolina end
of the problem to see the thing from the other angle.
The Cumberland-0zark connections are becoming more
important as I study them*
