Question
Good Afternoon! Could you please help with identifying this shrub. My guess is Ilex glabra- found in a wetland in Fitzwilliam, NH (I'm having difficulty uploading multiple images- it just keeps repeating the single image). Thank you!
Answer
Dear KDC, Go Botany is experiencing a glitch with regarding to uploading multiple images. Anytime you would like, you may email them to ahaines[at]newenglandwild.org and I can examine them. That written, I can identify your mystery shrub. It is Gaylusaccia baccata (black huckleberry). If you look closely with magnification, you will see tiny resin dots on both surfaces of the leaf blade. Best wishes.
