Went blackberry picking today, and came across something that looked a lot like a giant bilberry. I'm trying to identify it. It has bell shaped flowers, and waxy, rounded dark green leaves. The fruits are on a stem, about a dozen or so to each, in opposite pairs.
I'm in the northwest, and this was found in woodland at the top of a hill (so well drained, but not a lot of sun).
Can any one guess what this is, or suggest a good website for looking at?
Thanks

From your description I would guess it could be Darwins Barberry, but without pics it's difficult to be sure.
