0PI 618122V. meridionale NC 3735 Colombia Vaccinium meridionale Sw. ColombiaCORPLANT1993COLLECTED10/13/1993Wild materialThis accession is originally from Colombia. V. meridionale is known from the Caribbean-facing watershed slopes of northern Venezuela (Coastal Cordillera and Andes), westwards into the Andes of northern Colombia where it is common at midelevations, and then disjunct to the Caribbean island of Jamaica from where the type was described (Swartz, 1788). It is widespread in its range, but only locally common. Its habitat includes isolated populations in high montane cloud forest to sub-paramo thickets, where it is a shrub up to 3.5 m tall. Its elevational range stretches from ca. 1000 to 2800 m.

V. meridionale is characterized by small leaves. The blades are pinnately nerved and minutely crenate-serrate margined. The racemose inflorescences are small, 4- to 5-merous, white-to-pink, cylindric to ovoid-cylindric, glabrous flowers, with typically as many as 15 to 25 flowers per inflorescence. The fruit is usually spherical or, more rarely, slightly oblong or flattened, and 14 to 20 mm in diameter. Fruit develop as dark reddish, to dark maroon-black, to blue-black berries in which the top of the ovary is prominently convex or dome-shaped. The fruit is uniform in size when properly pollinated. The fruit is relatively thick-skinned, and the interior flesh pulpy. The thick skins are reflective of their high levels of antioxidants.		1011717PI 618122
