Vaccinium uliginosum bog bilberry , bog blueberry ,[2] northern bilberry or western blueberry )[3] flowering plant in the heath family Ericaceae .
Description [ edit ]
Vaccinium uliginosum is a small deciduous shrub growing to 10–75 centimetres (4–29 + 1 2 3 + 1 2 bilberry ). The leaves are oval, 1 8 1 + 1 8 in ) long and 1 16 9 16 in ) wide, blue-green with pale net-like veins, with a smooth margin and rounded apex.[4]
The flowers are pendulous, urn-shaped, pale pink, 3 16 1 4 in ) long, produced in mid spring. The fruit is a dark blue-black berry 3 16 5 16 in ) in diameter, with a white sweet flesh, ripe in late summer.[4]
Subspecies [ edit ]
Three subspecies have been described, but not all authorities distinguish them:[1] [4]
Vaccinium uliginosum subsp. microphyllum Lange – Arctic plants
Vaccinium uliginosum subsp. occidentale (A.Gray) Hultén – North American plants
Vaccinium uliginosum subsp. uliginosum
Distribution and habitat [ edit ]
The plant is native to cool temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere , at low altitudes in the Arctic , Baltics , and at high altitudes south to the Pyrenees , the Alps , and the Caucasus in Europe, the mountains of Mongolia , northern China , the Korean Peninsula and central Japan in Asia, and the Sierra Nevada in California and the Rocky Mountains in Utah in North America.[4] [5] [6] [7]
It grows on wet acidic soils on heathland , moorland , tundra , and in the understory of coniferous forests, from sea level in the Arctic, up to 3,400 m (11,200 ft ) altitude in the south of the range.
V. uliginosum can survive long, severe climatic oscillations.[8] [9]
The berries can be eaten raw or cooked, used to make jelly or pies, or dried to make pemmican .[10]
In Korean cuisine , bog bilberry is used to make infused liquor (Deuljjuk-sul ).
