[Recent research by T.W. Smith et al. (2015) reaffirms that the taxon Vaccinium oxycoccos, as described in FNA (2009) and by Vander Kloet (1983) should be treated as two distinct species: Vaccinium microcarpum, a diploid species (2n=24), and V. oxycoccos, a tetraploid species (2n=48) descended from V. microcarpum; this treatment now coincides with that of European floras. Note that all northern cranberry specimens have not been annotated, so the exact ranges of V. oxycoccos and V. microcarpum in NL are uncertain.]
