V. ARIZONICA. 



The V. Arizonica is not much known in France, and has 

 not been used for reconstitution, although it has existed for 

 a number of years in vine collections. This species 

 resembles V Calif ornica by its young leaves ; its adult leaves 

 (Fig. 50) glabrous, thick and small, and its bushy 

 habit, gives it an appearance comparable to that of 

 Rupestris; its seeds (Fig. 51) distinguish it from V. Cali- 

 f ornica, but the numerous hybrids existing between V. Cali- 

 f ornica and V. Arizonica may often lead to confusion.
