Tim and friend,
I couldn't find a V. dennocharis but there is a
Vaccinium dendrocharis Hand.-Mazz.
Family - ERICACEAE - Heath Family
Published in:
Anzeiger der Akademie der Wissenschaften in Wien.
Mathmematische-naturwissenschaftliche Klasse. Wien 62: 132. 1925.
{Akad. Wiss. Wien, Math.-Naturwiss. Kl., Anz. ; BPH HI 61801}
Could be your mate have slipped in a few wrong letters?
anyway I did find one web page in Dutch
but it does seem to indicate that the picture on the page may have been
taken in Savill garden in the UK???

That may help clarify the situation
or maybe make it worse :-)
Cheers, Rod
