This appears to be a member of Ericaceae. Sadly the genus is not familiar to me. The closest I know is Arbutus but the leaf shape seems wrong.<\/p>\n

\n

Please check species of Vaccinium <\/i>of Ericaceae family.<\/p>\n

\n

Hmm! Interesting. Vaccinium<\/i> I had not thought of.
\nI am familiar with many Vacciniums and grow several sp.
\nIt is the leathery evergreen leaves,that appear to be in whorls up the twig that I am finding hard.
\nI have found a link to a botanical drawing for Vaccinium vacciniaceum<\/i>.
\nWould you be kind enought to say if you think I have a match.
\nhttp:\/\/www.tropicos.org\/Image\/73859<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Further link for advice.
\nIs this it? http:\/\/www.efloras.org\/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=3&taxon_id=200016729<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

\n
I too used the same link to reach Vaccinium <\/i>but it was difficult for me to run the key without the specimen.<\/span><\/div>\n
I think V.<\/i><\/span>vacciniaceum <\/i>is a certain choice. <\/span><\/div>\n
Please refer the following link as well (I am not sure about the authenticity of the site). <\/span><\/div>\n

Yes, apparently it looks like Vaccinium vacciniaceum<\/em>, but deu to obscure images, it looks like so. Still I am observing some characters of Vaccinium subdissitifolium P.F. Stevens<\/p>\n
