36. V. integrifolia, Raf. lior. Louis, 1817. Orbicular 

 Grape. Leaves orbicular, entire, base hardly cordate, 

 no teeth nor lobes. A doubtful species, inserted on the 

 authority of Robin, but hardly described by him. From 

 Louisiana. 



37. V. poiretia, Raf. ( V. vulpina, Poiret.) Chicken 

 Grape. Leaves ample cordate, entire trilobe or 5 lobed, 

 lobes distant at the base, lobes angular acuminate, une- 

 qually toothed. Both sides smooth, pale beneath, with 

 yellow veins. Racemes with many ombellules, with a 

 linear lanceolate bract. Berries small and black. This 

 species, which Poiret describes as the V. vulpina of L. 

 is totally different from it, and I strongly suspect only 

 a variety of my V. bracteata, improperly described as 

 smooth beneath 



38. V. palmafa, Vahl, P. Imate Grape. Branches 

 smooth purple. Leaves palmate cordate, segments lan- 

 ceolate acute, lateral ones with lanceolate teeth, the ter- 

 minal serrate. Raceme oblong and short. Only described 

 and seen by Vahl, grown in Europe from seeds sent from 

 America. Perhapsa variety of my V. multiloba. Stipules 

 lanceolate. Raceme only one inch long. 



IV. Series. Aglobuiia. Berries not globular nor de- 

 pressed, but oblong or oval, as commonly in V. vinifera. 



39. V. Virginiana. Poiret. Virginia Grape. Branches 

 smooth and red. Leaves coriaceous, ovate cordate 5 

 lobed, lobes unequal rounded, terminal large acuminate, 

 teeth unequal short acute, above lucid, beneath with pu- 

 bescent nerves. Berries oval. Described by Poiret from 

 garden specimens, sent by Mr. Kingston from the Poto- 

 mac. Racemes nearly simple, pedicels slender. Berry 

 of middle size, of an oval round shape. 



40. V. prohfera. Raf. (See tab. 100, fig. F.) Prolific 

 Grape. Branches substriated, subpilose. Petiole short, 

 pilose. Leaves cordate acute, of a square form, trifid, 

 trilobe or 5 lobed, base acute with distant rounded lobes, 

 upper lobes and sinusses variable, margin acute serrate 

 above smooth, beneath cuierous tomentose, nerves ful- 

 vous. Racemes compound proliferous. Berries large el-
