2. Vitis sestlvalis, Michx. Original of the Clinton, Norton's Virginia 

 Seedling, and some other wine grapes. 



Var. ? cin&rea, Engelm. " Branchlets and both sides of the almost entire 

 leaves canescent, even when mature ; berries very small, black and shining, very 

 acid until after frost. Rich bottom lands in the Mississippi Valley, Illinois, 

 and southward." Engelmann. 



3. V. cordifolia, Michx., according to Engelmann, " has the small berries 

 black without bloom, the small seeds rounded above and with a prominent 

 rhaphe. Unfit for cultivation." 



3*. V. riparia, Michx., Dr. Engelmann concludes should be restored as a 

 species, with the following character. " Leaves larger, usually incisely 3-lobed, 

 the lobes long-pointed ; panicles small, rather simple ; berries larger and mostly 

 with bloom ; seeds larger, obtuse or somewhat obcordate and with an inconspic- 

 uous rhaphe. May, earlier than V. cordifolia. Thickets and river-banks, 

 from Vermont to Michigan and Illinois. Several varieties in cultivation : the 

 most esteemed white one is the Taylor-Bullit Grape. The celebrated claret-col- 

 ored Delaware Grape seems also to belong here." Engelmann.
