Notes

Northern Europe, with a distribution similar to that of V. oxycoccos. There is some discussion about combining the two species, since they are found to hybridize in the wild. Their habitat preferences are, however, different, and the distinction is currently maintained. V. microcarpum, like V. oxycoccos, is edible but not cultivated to any significant extent
