262 ECONOMIC BOTANY OF ALABAMA 



Vitis aestivalis, Mx. (Common) Wild grapR. 



Sometimes cultivated iov ornament. The fruit is edible, but 

 more palatable when made into jelly than eaten raw. Some va- 

 rieties of cultivated grapes are said to have been derived from 

 this. 



Grows in various places protected from fire, such as rock out- 

 crops, rich woods, bottoms, and roadsides. Pretty widely distrib- 

 uted. 



IB. Jackson, Madison, Marshall and Franklin Counties. 

 IC. Lawrence County. 



2A. On mountain slopes, DeKalb and St. Clair Counties. 

 2B. Tuscaloosa Count}'. 



3. Talladega County. 



4. Calhoun, Talladega and Clay Counties. 



5. (Doubtless occurs, but I never happened to make note of it.) 

 6A. Franklin County, and doubtless others. 



6C. Greene County. House Bluff, Autauga County. 



7. Sumter, Hale and Dallas Counties. 



8. Wilcox County. 



lOE. Crenshaw. Coffee and Henry Counties. 



low. Wilcox County. 



14. Upper part of the delta. 



Vitis cinerea, Engelm. 



Differs from the common wild grape in having smaller leaves 

 which are more hairy on both sides, giving them an ashy look. 



Dr. Mohr reported it from Hale and Mobile Counties, and I 

 have seen it on the upper Wetumpka Road in the outskirts of 

 Montgomery. Its range is mostly west of the Mississip]:)i River, 

 and it may not be native in Alabama. 



Vitis bicolor, LeConte. 



Known in Alabama at present only from rocky places along 

 the Blue Ridge (region 4). Dr. Mohr reported it from Calhoun, 

 Talladega and Clay Counties, and I have seen what is probably the 

 same thing on Alpine ]\Iountain, in Talladega County. 



Vitis cordifolia, Mx. (Frost GrapR.) 



This has smoothish toothed leaves suggesting those of the 

 muscadine, and bunches of fruit like those of the common wild 

 grape, except that the berries are black and not very good to eat. 

 Blooms in May. Occasionally cultivated for (jrnament.
