 More recently, phylogenetic studies in 2002 suggested that the monophyly of "G. brachycera" with the remainder of "Gaylussacia" is "equivocal", and further analysis of "Vaccinium" might result in "G. brachycera" being returned to that genus.About 100 separate stations for box huckleberry have been documented in the scientific literature.By the time of Baird's collection in 1845, the West Virginia stations of the plant had been lost to science, and his Pennsylvania colony was the only one known for some time.
