RHAMNACEAE 261 



Grows in dry open woods, especially in sandy long-leaf pine 



forests. On account of its small size, it does not take it long to 



renew its growth after a fire. Widely distributed over the state.

 gan and Lawrence Counties.

 except that the stems are yellowish, and the leaves only about a 

 quarter of an inch long, and evergreen. Economic properties un- 

 known. 



Grows in dry sandy long-leaf pine forests, subject to freqtient 

 fires, in the southern edge of the eastern half of the state. (Com- 

 moner in Florida.)

VITACEAE. Grape Family. 



About 13 genera and 500 species, mostly vines, in tropical 

 and temperate regions. Several have edible fruits of great eco- 

 nomic importance, and some are cultivated for ornament. 



VITIS, Linnaeus. Thi-: Grapes, Muscadines, etc. 



Deciduous woody vine, climbing by tendrils, with incon- 

 spicuous greenish flowers in early summer, and more or less edible 

 berries in fall. The species are somewhat variable and puzzling, 

 and any one who likes to make fine distinctions might find a few 

 more in the state than are recognized here. The muscadine is 

 sometimes put in a different genus (Muscadinia).
