Bilberry is any of several species of low-growing shrubs in the genus Vaccinium (family Ericaceae), bearing edible berries. The species most often referred to is Vaccinium myrtillus L., but there are several other closely related species. Bilberry (especially Vaccinium myrtillus) is known by a very wide range of local names. As well as "bilberry", these include blaeberry, whortleberry hurts, whinberry, winberry, wimberry, myrtle blueberry and fraughan. The berries were called black-hearts in 19th century south-western England, according to Thomas Hardy's 1878 novel, The Return of the Native. In several other European languages its name translates as "blueberry", and this may cause confusion with the related plants more usually known as "blueberry" in English – those in section Oxycoccus of the Vaccinium genus.
