First posted in April 2024. This post (I hope) confirms the species of this Vaccinium that I also posted in April (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/156637079). Growing in low woods, shaded by jack pines.

One problem is that the Michigan Flora key (https://michiganflora.net/genus/Vaccinium) to Vaccinium states that the new stems should be sharply ridged, but they are not ridged at all on this plant.
Growing on Abies balsamea about 4in dbh right on the lakeshore. Only one found otherwise I'd have taken a collection. Photo #4 habitat shot
