In several other European languages its name translates as "blueberry", and this may cause confusion with the related plants more usually known as "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blueberry" in American English, which are in the separate sectionhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanococcus of the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaccinium http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genus.
