DISTRIBUTION AND OCCURRENCE

SPECIES: Vaccinium myrsinites | Ground Blueberry
GENERAL DISTRIBUTION : Ground blueberry grows along the southeastern Coastal Plain and Gulf Coast from South Carolina through southern Georgia and northern Florida to southwestern Alabama and perhaps southwestern Louisiana [18,42]. It extends southward to peninsular Florida [18]. Disjunct populations occur in the Metamorphic Hills of Alabama [42].

It is a prominent component of scrubby, xeric pine flatwoods, sand pine (Pinus clausa) scrub, oak (Quercus spp.)-palmetto (Sabal spp.) scrub, scrub palmetto (S. etonia) communities, pine-oak scrub, and rosemary (Ceratiola ericoides) balds [3,15,42]. Ground blueberry also occurs in southern mixed forests [40], on disturbed dunes, [42] and in fallow fields [9]. Plant associates: Common associates in scrub palmetto or Florida scrub communities include scrub palmetto, pawpaw (Asimina reticulata), scrubclover (Petalostemon feayi), dodder (Cassytha filiformis), blazing star (Liatris tenuifolia), and scrub mint (Conradina grandiflora) [3]. Sand pine, tree sparkleberry (Vaccinium arboreum), saw palmetto, and oak often grow with ground blueberry in sand pine scrub [27]. Slash pine (Pinus elliottii), pond pine (P. serotina), longleaf pine (P. palustris), saw palmetto (Serenoa repens), lyonia (Lyonia spp.), dwarf huckleberry (Gaylussacia dumosa), oaks, and inkberry (Ilex glabra) grow with ground blueberry in pine flatwoods or pine scrub [1,15,20,39]. Common associates on fallow ground include bracken fern (Pteridium aquilinum), dwarf huckleberry, and running oak (Q. pumila) [9].
