Help requested for identification of forest plant

I wonder if anyone knows the name of this plant. It was found in a forest on Hornby Island (near Vancouver Island) and is similar in some ways to an oregon grape. It does not have the razored edges on the leaves as the oregon grape does. It does have little black berries. It is much taller than an oregon grape. I don't know if it is evergreen, only having seen it once in the summer. This is a photo of a part of the bush that had been broken off. If it can been identified, I can try to find a gardening store that has one that I can buy. Thanks for any help you can give.

 

Possibly Prunus laurocerasus? or Prunus virginiana? If either probably the latter as P. laurocerasus is "...an orn(amental) sometimes bird-disseminated w(est) Cas(cades), rarely reaching maturity."
according to "Flora of PNW" by H&C. Harry

 

Not a Prunus. Not sure what it is, maybe one of the evergreen Rhamnus species.

 

I would suggest Vaccinium ovatum, AKA evergreen huckleberry

 

I'll second the Vaccinium ovatum id. Very distinctive leaf pattern, and right environment for its growth.

 

Evergreen huckleberry with bloomy fruits ("blueberries") said to taste better than black ones.

 

Thank you to wrygrass, Michael F, jimmyq, Silver Creek, and Ron B for your replies to my query about the forest plant. With the leads you gave me, I looked for pictures of the Vaccinium Ovatum (Evergreen Huckleberry) and it sure looks like that is what it is. Since it said the berries were edible, I tried one that was attached to the branch and, though not delicious, it was definitely not poisonous (at least not yet....) Thanks to you all - I really appreciated your help. Kay

 

Same genus as familiar highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum) of markets and home gardens.

 

Thanks Ron B for the further information about vaccinium corymbosum. By the way, on one of the websites I visited, the Vaccinium Ovatum was named a 2005 Great Plant Pick. It is a lovely plant and it has flowers, berries and is evergreen - what's not to like! Bye for now, Kay
