What is the scientific name for a blueberry bush?

Rose
Daisy
Poinsettia
Vaccinium corymbosum

The correct answer is: Vaccinium corymbosum

The scientific name for a blueberry bush is Vaccinium corymbosum. This is because the blueberry plant is a kind of shrub and its berries are produced in clusters, which is what "corymbosum" means in Latin. A rose is incorrect because it refers to a different type of plant altogether. While both blueberry plants and rose plants have colorful berries, they are from different plant families and therefore have different scientific names. Daisy and Poinsettia are also incorrect because they are neither a type of shrub nor a berry-producing plant. They are flowers from the Asteraceae family and the Euphorbiaceae family, respectively. Therefore, the only correct answer is Vaccinium corymbosum.
