Vaccinium Hirsutum

VACCINIUM HIRSUTUM Buckl. Am. Journ. Sci. 45 : In April, 1893,1 discovered this local and little-known huckle berry on the southern cliffs of the caiion at Tallulah Falls, Georgia. This apparently is the first collection since the original discovery by Buckley in Cherokee County, North Carolina. In 1894 Prof. A. Ruth found the shrub on the Cade's Cove Mountains in eastern Tennessee, thus adding the third station and the third State in which the species is known to exist.
