Flower:Huckleberry, Evergreen
Family:Heath
Genus / Species:Vaccinium ovatum
Notes:This is the most common huckleberry found along the Pacific Coast. It has a very edible berry, but the trick is to taste it at the right time. The berries can sometimes hang on for many months, and then of course they are past their prime.
