Vaccinium ovatum var. saporosum—pear-shaped huckleberry. The variety saporosum has been lumped into the species by both The Jepson Manual, 2nd ed., and the Flora of North America. Variety saporosum differs a bit from the species by its pear-shaped fruit. W. L. Jepson wrote that the variety matured a bit earlier than the species and had a better flavor. Huckleberries are certainly one of the best tasting of all California native berries Those interested in culinary uses should visit the link on the CalFlora.org page for Vaccinium ovatum. The link contain several recipes for huckleberries. Photographed at Regional Parks Botanic Garden located in Tilden Regional Park near Berkeley, CA.
