Species description reveals unique leaf and floral characteristics in Vaccinium from Ilocos Norte and Apayao.
A new species of small-leaved Vaccinium is described from Kilang Pass in northern Luzon (Philippines), bringing the total number of Philippine Vaccinium species to 45. Vaccinium kilangensis differs from the other species in the genus in having elliptic (to narrowly obovate) leaves with an entire leaf margin and obtuse apex, one- to two-flowered inflorescences with persistent foliaceous bracts, broadly conical-urceolate corollas, and spurred anthers.
