pedicels short, making the bunch very compact : berries about the size of V. cordi folia, black 

 and nearly or quite bloomless, late ; seed small and notched on top. — Vitis Bailevana (a

 Lam. — Mountain valleys, 800 to 3000 feet altitude, Southwestern Virginia and adjacent 

 West Virginia and Western North Carolina, Tennessee and N. Georgia ; also at common 

 levels in the uplands of West-central Georgia. The eastern counterpart of V. Berlandieri. 

 V. Berlandieri, Planch. (Mountain, Spanish, Fall, or Winter Grape.) A stocky 

 moderately climbing vine, with mostly short internodes and rather thick diaphragms : 

 leaves medium-large, broadly cordate-ovate or cordate-orbicular (frequently as broad as long), 

 glabrous and glossy above, covered at first with gray pubescence below but becoming gla- 

 brous and even glossy e.xcept on the veins, the sinus mostly inverted-U-shaped in outline but 

 often acute at the point of insertion of the petiole, the margin distinctly angled above 

 or shortly 3-lobed and marked by rather large open notch-like acute teeth of varying 

 size, tbe apex mostly pronounced and triangular-pointed : stamens long and ascending in 

 the sterile flowers, laterally recurved in the fertile ones : clusters compact and compound, 

 mostly strongly shouldered, bearing numerous medium to small (^ inch or less in diameter) 

 purple and slightly glaucous very late berries which are juicy and pleasaut-tasted ; seed (fre- 

 quently only I) medium to small. — Compt. Rend. Acad. Sci. Paris, xci. 425-428, Jour.

 along streams and hills, S. W. Texas. Well marked by the gray-veined under surface of the 

 leaves. (Adj. Mex.) 



V. cinerea, Engelm. (Sweet Winter Grape.) Climbing high, with medium to long 

 internodes and thick and strong diaphragms ; leaves large, broadly cordate-ovate to triau- 

 gular-cordate-ovate (generally longer than broad), the sinus mostly wide and obtuse, the 

 margin small-notched (teeth much smaller than in V. Berlandieri) or sometimes almost 

 entire, mostly distinctly and divaricately 3-angled or shortly 3-lobed towards the apex, the 

 triangular apex large and prominent, the upper surface cobwebby when young but becoming 

 dull dark green (not glossy), the under surface remaining ash-gray or dungray webby- 

 pubescent : stamens in sterile flowers long, slender and ascending, in the fertile ones short, 

 and laterally recurved : cluster mostly loose and often straggling, containing many small 

 bliick berries, these only slightly if at all glaucous, ripening very late, and after frost 

 becoming sweet and pleasant; seeds small to medium. — Bushberg Cat. ed. 3, 16; Planch.

 var. "l cinerea, Engelm. in Gray, Man. ed. 5, 679. — Along streams, mostly in limy soils, 

 Central Illinois to Kansas and Texas ; alsoN. Florida. Readily distinguished from V. (Esti- 

 valis by the triangular-topped sharply 3-lobed ash-gray leaves and the gray tomentum of 

 the young growth. (Me.x.) 



Var. Ploridana, Munson. Growing tips rusty-tomentose, as are sometimes the veins 

 on the under sides of the leaves : cluster longer-peduncled and more compound. — Wild 

 Grapes N. A. 14, Gard. & For. iii. 474, & Rev. Vit. vi. 424. — Manatee Co., Florida, and ap- 

 parently also in Arkansas ; not unlikely a compound with V. wstivalis, but the leaves have 

 the characteristic shape of V. cinerea. Not to be confounded with any form of V. Carihaa, 

 DC, because of the lobed triangular-topped leaves and much larger teeth. 



Var. canescens, Bailey, n. comb. A form with rounded or heart-like leaves, the 



upper half of the leaf lacking the triangular and 3-lobed shape of the type. — V. cestivalis, 



var. canescens, Engelm. Am. Nat. ii. 321, Jide spec, in herb. Gray. — St. Louis, Missouri,

++ -H- Plant scarcely climbing, the tendrils perishing if failing to find support. 



V. Arizonica, Engelm. (Canon Grape.) Plant weak, much branched, with short inter- 

 nodes and thick diaphragms, branchlets angled : leaves mostly small, cordate-ovate and
