Name this shrub that I found today in an upland oak/hickory understory. It grows in scattered colonies, never more than waist high. The blue berries are dry, bland and seedy. The underside of the leaf has tiny dots that sparkle in the sun like amber colored jewels. This is not a vaccinium. It's a great wildlife shrub which is right at home in the shade.
