Globe Huckleberry (Vaccinium globulare)

Globe huckleberry is common from low to moderately high elevations in the moist mountains of eastern Washington and Oregon across Idaho to Montana and Wyoming. It is very similar to Vaccinium membranaceum and occupies an ecologically equivalent position. Sometimes the species are indistinguishable and which species you have may depend on which expert you are talking to. Photo from Black Mountain, Clearwater Basin, Idaho.
