Our Mountain Shrubs 111 



Menispermum canadensa- L,^ 



Anacardiaceae ( Cashew Family) : 



Rhus radicans L. There is also a form with smaller 

 fruit, var. microcarpa Michx., occurring locally from 

 Canada to Fla. that should be looked for in this state. 



Celastraceae (Staff Tree Family) : 



Celastrus scandens L. In Ayres and Ashe's list, but 

 apparently rather rare in N. C. It has been collected 

 in moist woodlands near Biltmore in 1898 (Biltmore 

 Herb.), on Cane Creek, Mitchell County, and at 

 Spruce Pine (W. W. Ashe), and at Scheville (N. Y. 

 Bot. Garden). Curtis knew of but one vine, which 

 was near Lincolnton. 



Vitaceae (Vine Family) : 



Psedera quinquefolia (L.) Green (Parthenocissus quin- 

 quefolia (L.) Planch.). 



Vitis labrusca L. 



Vitis aestivalis Michx. 



Vitis bicolor Le Conte. 



Vitis cordifolia Michx. 



Vitis Baileyana Munson. 



Vitis vulpina L.

Lonicera dioica L. (L. parviflora Lam.) Curtis says^^^^^ ju^^K. 

 ''This belongs to the mountains." It does not occur "^ 



in Ayres and Ashe's list. 



sAvi-es and Ashe have included Wistaria frutescens (Pulse Family) in 

 their list of Appalachian shrubs and vinos, but tnis almost certainly is an ei-- 

 ror. Mr. Ashe has recently informed me that he has not seen it out of the 

 coastal plain. _. . „ ., . ,, 



^ Tecoma radicans (L.) Juss., (Trumpet vine, Bignonia Family), reaches 

 the foot of the mountains according to Curtis, but it does not seem to ascend 

 to 2.000 feet. It does not occur in my notes on Black Mountain or Hender- 

 sonville (Kanuga) plants, and is not in Memminger's list of Henderson County 

 plants, or in Ayres and Ashe's list.
