	''Vaccinium corymbosum'', also known as the northern highbush bluberry, is a species within the section cyanococcus ([http://www.blueberry.org/blueberries.htm#History]). This section consists of the species ''V. angustifolium, V. boreale, V. caesariense, V. corymbosum, V. darrowii, V. elliotti, V. formosum, V. fuscatum, V. hirsutum, V. koreanum, V. myrsinites, V. myrtilloides, V. pallidum, V. simulatum, V. tenellum,'' and ''V. virgatum''. ''V. corymbosum'' is native to North America and is a shrub approximately 6-12 feet tall ([http://plants.usda.gov/factsheet/pdf/fs_vaco.pdf]). While most of the species you can find in a supermarket are native to North America, the highest diversity of blueberry family species is found in the tropics ([http://www.jstor.org/stable/4131305]).
