A total of 25 wild blueberry resources were collected from 7 sampling points. Through field investigation combined with literature record and preliminary identification of resources, the results showed that: the 12 species of 2 varieties reported in Hunan Province were mainly distributed in the range of 100-1800 m, the main habitats were mixed broadleaf forests or hillside shrubs, the leaves are oval, and were rarely lanceolate. The fruit was round, usually purple-black when mature. the preliminary identification collection resources only 2 wild types, respectively Vacciuium bracteatum and Vacciuium mandarinorum.
