PLANTS OF KENTUCKY
Vaccinium staminium L.?
[Or one of the subgen. Polyc odium related to
V. stamineum?]
D. Gibson	April 28, i960
J. Watson
Shrub about 3 ft. tall. Corolla greenish white and
so deeply cleft each "petal” tends to come apart
separately. No fragrance, whereas typical V. stamineum
is very fragrant. White glaucescence under side of
leaves and on calyx. Sepals edged with very long,
non-glandular hairs. Stamens only slightly exserted,
not nearly as much as the usual V. staminium or its
variety neglectum.
Awns of stamens are greatly reduced, not nearly as long
as the typical V. stamineum.
Frequent on upper slopes and ridge of shaly hill
behind old Ferguson House, under cedars. Approx.
13 miles north of Columbia, Adair County.
