To this species probably belongs the winter grape of our upper /listricts, 

 which promises to become valuable when duly cultivated. It is s^id to sur- 

 pass in flavour all of our native grapes. I have endeavoured several times 

 unsuccessfully to cultivate it in our low country^ and can only speak of it 

 from report. 



Grows in rich soils along the margin of rivers. 



Flowers May — July. Pursh.
