Vine variable in \'igor, usually very vigorous, climbing high, Sometimes, when 

 without support, shrubby and only three or four feet high; when growing in the shade 

 often sending down aerial roots. Wood hard, bark smooth, not scaling off except in 

 old age, with prominent warty lenticels; shoots short-jointed, angled, with fine scurfy 

 pubescence; diaphragms absent; tendrils intermittent, simple. Leaves below medium 

 in size, broadly cordate or roundish; petiolar sinus rather wide, usually shallow; margin 

 with obtuse, wide teeth; not lobed; dense in texture, rather light green color, glabrous 

 above, glabrous or sometimes pubescent along veins below. Cluster small (6-24 berries), 

 loose; peduncle short; pedicels short, rather thick. Berries large, globular or some- 

 what oblate, black or greenish-yellow; skin usualh- thick, tough, and with a musky 

 odor; pulp rather tough; ripening unevenly and dropping as soon as ripe. Seeds 

 two to four, very large to medium, shaped something like a coffee-berry, somewhat 

 flattened, shallowly and broadly notched; beak very short; chalaza rather narrow, 

 slightly depressed with radiating ridges and furrows; raphe a narrow groove. Leafing, 

 flowering and ripening fruit very late. (See Plate.) 



Rotundifolia, or the southern Fox grape, seems to have attracted the
