1. gaylussacia brachycera

   Gaylussacia brachycera, commonly known as box huckleberry or box-leaved whortleberry, is a type of slow-growing, evergreen shrub that belongs to the Ericaceae family. It is native to the Eastern United States and typically found in dry, sandy soils. It produces small, bell-shaped flowers in spring, followed by blue-black berries that are often consumed by birds and small mammals. Its leaves are dark green and glossy with a box-like shape, hence the common name. It is known for its extensive lifespan, with some plants estimated to be over 1,000 years old.

1. Gaylussacia brachycera

   Gaylussacia brachycera, commonly known as box huckleberry or box-leaved whortleberry, is a low North American shrub related to the blueberry and the other huckleberries. It is easily distinguished from other members of its genus by its leaves: they resemble those of boxwood and lack the resin glands typical of huckleberries. Like its relatives, it bears white urn-shaped flowers in the early summer, which develop to blue, edible berries in late summer. It is mostly found in Appalachia; many of its stations there were known to natives, who picked and ate the berries, before botanists became aware of them in the 1920s. A relict species nearly exterminated by the last ice age, box huckleberry is self-sterile, and is found in isolated colonies which reproduce clonally by extending roots. One colony in Pennsylvania was once estimated to be as many as 13,000 years old; more recent estimates have an upper bound of about 8,000 years, which would make it the oldest woody plant east of the Rocky Mountains. Another colony in Pennsylvania, about 1,300 years old, has been protected by the Hoverter and Sholl Box Huckleberry Natural Area.
