48. ViTis VULPINA, Linn., var. (?) Yzabalana. Leaves ovate- 

 cordate, coarsely toothed, with a long-attenuate acumination, glabrous, 

 shining beneath, 2 to 4 inches long, a scant cobwebby pubescence upon 

 the young leaves ; petioles puberulent, about half the length of the

 cordate leaves are not acuminate and about equal the smooth petioles 

 in length. 



49. Serjania Mexicana, Willd. Nearly glabrous : stem deeply 

 furrowed : leaves biternate, with minute glandular puberulence and

 with one or two blunt teeth each side of the acutish apex, 3 or 4 inches 

 long: inflorescence an elongated axillary naked divaricately branched 

 panicle (IJ feet long) ; sepals densely toraentose. — Banks of Chocon

 long: racemes crowded upon the short terminal peduncle, 4 inches 

 long or less; pedicels short (a line long in fruit) : sepals glabrous (or
