Ericaceae is the family name. There is no alternative spelling, it was a typo on my part. (The comment above yours is edited to be clearer) Thank you for catching that. Plant family names end in ‘eae’.

Thank you for the description of Vaccinium and Gaylussacia. That is super interesting, I’ve never heard them referred to as “true huckleberries”.

Your comment points to the larger issue with common names. And I apologize if you know this, but hopefully it is helpful to folks who come across this post. Common names can be applied to two or more plants that aren’t related. They are colloquial and can apply to edible plants and poisonous plants at once. Some plants have multiple common names. Some plants have no common names at all because they have no existing functional relationship with humanity. Many common names are simply adopted from the species’ genera (I like this!). Common names cause confusion and muck up the clarity of botanical conversation of people across places/upbringings.

Cheers.

This has been the DNC playbook since Clinton.

Huckleberries and blueberries are not related closely at all. Huckleberries are in the nightshade family, Solanaceae. Blueberries are in the blueberry family, Ericaceae. Their morphologies, or growth forms, are very very different.

Eggplants, potatoes, ground cherries, tomatillos, huckleberries are all edible too. That said you are right, if it is growing in the wild assume it will kill you. Don’t eat it.

Yeah, water hemlock, cowbane, fool’s parsley, wild parsnip, etc, etc.

Apiaceae, the carrot family, is full of wild species that are incredibly poisonous. Basically if it looks like a carrot in the wild dont eat it or you might die.

Also those pesky necessary walls

Offended. Those are margarine dogs.

Yeah I saw that you can block those in settings. I pointed out how that just presents a whack-a-mole scenario where the user has to keep at it instead of striking at the TLD.

Wow how terrible would that have been for the CPU industry.

There are still people who do not know this, unfortunately.

Oh gotcha. What a hot mess.

Don’t have to be aware of any one particular base to know that all the bases have these problems.

Fuck the Republicans, but the Democrats have had just as much time and power to deal with this systemic issue and have done nothing either. The military acts with bipartisan impunity.

To be fair, it isn’t important enough to either party to substantively deal with, because they would have.

Bases in the US also have this issue. It is systemic. Stateside, prosecutions of soldiers who rape women don’t see the light of day. The Florida panhandle is awash with stories of GIs raping women and facing zero consequences. I’ve friends that this has happened to. The whole damn system is guilty as hell.

He needs to resign. That’ll make it clear who runs and fast.

Beefy.

Yeah no. Soap exists.
