VMs: Blueberries?

["Ger" <ger.hungerink@xxxxxxxxx>]

On seeing f94r I at once thought to recognize the bluerries I used to pick 
when I was still young (sigh...). See a photo of wild blueberries here: 
http://www.nsac.ns.ca/envsci/research/blueberry/images/PhotoAlbum/images/wild%20blueberries.jpg

Checking whether this was remarked before I found no reference. On 
http://members.efortress.com/wilsonk/vmspictures.html  it says:
Comments: Botrychium lunaria is a reasonable match for this plant with its 
trophophore lamina leaf-like opposing appendages. (D.Scott)

Now I am no biologist and know nothing about plants. Agreed the leaves are 
different, and they are positioned differently, but the long curving stems 
with equally positioned leaves and the bunch of berries very much looking 
the same, I cannot help thinking they are blueberries.

Afterall, the leaves could have been drawn from memory and there may have 
been other variaties 500 years ago.
