Narrative
We returned to Sheep Creek Road, heading north and west to Murphy Dome Road, and then west to Old Murphy Dome Road. We followed the Old Murphy Dome Road northeast to a wide pipeline easement. Vaccinium uliginosum was abundant and generally productive in the easement and along an adjacent access road. Across the site, fruit size was variable. We collected fruit and herbarium samples from one high-yielding colony (DBPH 4) and fruit from a second high-yielding colony (DBPH 5). In both cases, fruit size was above average and the fruit was generally borne in clusters. We also collected 2 plants from these colonies (DBPH 37 and DBPH 38). Plant height was approximately 20 cm and the site appeared to have been mown within approximately the past year. Dr. Knight reported that he had previously collected plants from these colonies that bore up to 8 berries per cluster. This is an excellent site for V. uliginosum germplasm intended for cultivar development. Empetrum nigrum was abundant in the area. We collected fruit from a high-yielding, large-fruited colony (DBPH 6) and from throughout the area (DBPH 7). We also collected a clonal sample (DBPH 39). This site represented one of the best two Empetrum nigrum sites visited during our week-long collection trip.
