 IG Berlandidri, Planch MonNTAiN, Spantsh, Fall 

 or Winter Grape. Fig. 2699. A stocky, moderately 

 climbing vine, with mostly short internodes and rather 

 thick diaphr.Tgnis: lvs. 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 glabrous and even 

 glossy except on the veins, the sinus mostly inverted- 

 U-shaped in outline but often acute at the point of in- 

 sertion 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, the apex mostly 

 pronounced and triangular-pointed: stamens long and as- 

 cending in the sterile fls., laterally recurved in the fertile 

 ones: clusters compact and cnnipnnnd, mostly strongly 



shouldered, bearing nuinrr.ins i lium to small (J-ain. 



or less in diam.), purpl.- aii'l -li-liily glaucous very late

 2699. Climbing high, with medium to long internodes 

 and thick and strong diaphragms: lvs. large, broadly

 longer than broad), the sinus mostly wide and obtuse.

 19. Cali!6mica, Benth. Fig. 2700. A vigorous species, 

 tall-climbing upon trees but making bushy clumps 

 when not finding support, the nodes large and dia- 

 phragms rather thin: lvs. mostly round-reniform (the 

 broader ones the shape of a horse's hoof-print), rather 

 thin, either glabrous and glossy or (more commonly) 

 cottony-canescent until half grown and usually remain- 

 ing plainly pubescent below, the sinus ranging from 

 very narrow and deep to broad and open, the margins 

 varying (on the same vine) from finely blunt-toothed to 

 coarsely scallop-toothed (the latter a characteristic 

 feature), the upper portion of the blade either perfectly 

 continuous and rounded or sometimes indistinctly 

 3-lobed and terminating in a very short apex: bunches 

 medium, mostly long-peduncled and forked, the numer- 

 ous small berries glaucous-white, seedy and dry but of 

 fair flavor: seed large (K to 5-16 in. long), prominently 

 pyriform. Along streams in central and N. Calif, and 

 S .Ore. — Lvs. becoming handsomely colored and mottled 

 in fall.
