264 ECONOMIC BOTANY OF ALABAMA 



Fitis Bailcyana, Munson, is credited to Alabama by Small, but without 

 definite locality. Three other species of Vitis which are reported from 

 states east and west of us should be looked for in Alabama.

 sionally cultivated for ornament. 



Found by Dr. Mohr trailing over bushes in sand in the coast 

 strip, in Mobile and Baldwin Counties. 



AMPELOPSIS, Michaux. 



Deciduotis vines, with small black or bhiish uneatable berries. 

 Apparently no common names in general use. 



Ampelopsis cordata, Mx. (J 'it is indivisa, Willd.)
