“not extant” means there is no specimen at the L & C Herbarium but we know a specimen was collected by the L & C Expedition because Frederick Pursh references it in his 1813 Flora Americae Septentrionalis; “not extant T” means there is no speciment at the L & C Herbarium but we know a specimen was collected because it is referenced in the transmittal list sent from Fort Mandan by Meriwether Lewis to President Jefferson in April, 1805. *** Phillips 2003, lists this specimen as Vaccinium parvifolium. He states that V. myrtillus grows east of the Cascades and is not found at Fort Clatsop where the specimen was collected, whereas V. parvifolium is common at Fort Clatsop.
