Fig. 48. Leaf of V. Monticola Munson, No. i. 



Monticola Munson, No. 3. A form of medium vigour, 

 characterized by the general light tint of its leaves (Fig. 

 49) of a yellowish -green, elongated (like an arrow barb), 

 flat, very lustrous. 



Monticola Foexeana. One of the first forms introduced 

 into France; very inferior to those previously studied, on 

 account of its small vigour; characterized by its relatively 

 large leaves, thick, of a deep and very brilliant green, 

 limb undulating; petiolar sinus almost closed; teeth wide 

 and very short ; wood purple-red when lignified. 



Monticola Texana. Type of the earlier introduced forms 

 still in existence in France; of very feeble vigour and 

 without cultural value. Leaves (Figs. 44 and 45) small, 

 light yellowish-green, parchment-like; petiolar sinus open, 

 almost flat; teeth relatively acute.
