§ 2. Petals 5, distinct or united at the apex : stamens 5: style usually conical, 
short, truncated, and scarcely distinguishable from the apex of the ovary.— 
Flower-bearing peduncles sometimes changed partly into tendrils. Vitis,

* 499. (21) V. vinifera (Linn. :) leaves simple, lobed, toothed or serrated or 
incise, glabrous or tomentose: flowers bisexual in compound peduneled ra- 
cemes; flower-bearing peduncles not cirrhiferous: petals united at the apex: 
stamens slender, longer than the pistillum : ovary girt at the base by the ele- 
vated part of the torus, not furrowed : style short, thick: stigma slightly capi-

430. (22) V. latifolia (Roxb. :) branches glabrous : leaves simple, roundish- 
cordate, with 3-7 acute angles or lobes, sometimes almate (the segments 
with a rounded sinus, oblong, acute, and again lobed), serrated, unexpand- 
ed ones with tomentum, adult ones glabrous on both sides, prominent 
nerved beneath: racemes pubescent, compound, peduncled ; flower-bearing 
peduncles partly cirrhiferous: flowers bisexual: petals distinct: ovary 1m- 
mersed in the elevated part of the torus, 10-furrowed at the apex: style

431. (23) V. erioclada (W. & A.:) branches, peduncles, and pedicels — — 
densely wooly j-lenves simple, roundish cordate, acutely angled or lobed, 
sometimes palmately lobed with a rounded sinus, repand-toothed, t 
tipped with a large hardened gland; adult ones brittle, glabrous or witha | 
little scattered floceulent tomentum, shining and strongly nerved beneath : 
racemes peduncled, compound, compact; peduncles partly cirrhiferous 5 
flowers bisexual, when young nearly concealed among the wool of the 
cels: petals distinct: ovary immersed in the elevated part of the torus, 1 
furrowed at the apex: style none: stigma concave : fruit (about the sir ofa —— 
ripe grape) oblong.— Wight! cat. n. 968.—Rheed. Mal. 7. t. 7. 5-0 
Rheede in his description says, * caulis nonnihil viscosus,” an obvious MIS- — — 
take of the printer for villosus ; but which, notwithstanding that the ET 
are figured enveloped in wool, has led Roxburgh to consider Rheede’s plant — — 
to be the same with F. latifolia. The two appear to us very distinct. T 
432. (24) V. tomentosa (Heyne:) stems, petioles, peduncles and pedicels m 
woolly : leaves roundish-cordate, 3-5-lobed or partite ; lobes toothed, more 
orless acute, occasionally obtuse ; under side tomentose, upper becoming 
pubescent or floccose: racemes peduncled, short, compact, corymbiform, x 
with usually two primary branches; peduncles cirrhiferous: flowers bisexuais? — —
