Vaccinium Anthonyi

Vaccinium anthonyi is a rare and lesser-known species of evergreen shrub belonging to the Ericaceae family. Native to the mountainous regions of western North America, it thrives in cool, moist environments with acidic soil. This plant is characterized by its small, dark purple berries and dense, leathery leaves. Due to habitat loss and limited distribution, it is considered endangered in many areas. Its unique ecological role and aesthetic appeal make it a valuable subject for conservation and botanical study.
