Rafert, S. 1989 | Habitat | "This area, northern part of the country [i.e. northern Wabash County, which still has several lakes and marshy areas] had wild cranberries, and huckleberries. But this area didn't have 'em. They had to be around a swampy area, around these buckbrush swamp wetlands. . . That's a spot in the woods where the bracken grows, and the edge of where the bracken grows is where you'll find the cranberries, in the marshy area". |

Gonella, M.P 2003-2006 |   | The Myaamia word given here probably refers to either cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) or small cranberry (V. oxycoccus)--both these two listed in Coulter 1899. Both these species plus mountain cranberry (V. vitis-idaea) are listed in Gleason and Cronquist 1991. Cranberry (V. macrocarpon) is the one most commonly listed and was chosen as the probable representative of neehpikica. |
