V. acetosa, F. v. I. Walsh River Grape. It appears to me 
that under this name two distinct species or forms of one species are 
before the leaves. Bentham, in Flora Austr. i. 449, says that th 
ung shoots and inflorescence are glabrous, oF slightly hoaty- 
. am, 
sessile, oblong or obovate-cuneate, obtuse, or rarely shortly acuminate, 
2 to 3 in. long, or rarely longer, entire or bordered by small teeth or 
minute distinct serratures, narrowed at the base, herbaceous, but 
pat 
stemmed, and that the lateral pinne sometimes produced pe . 
leaflets. These are the points where Mr. Gardiner’s specimens differ. 
At the top of the petiole are 3 petiolules of nearly equal length, ; 
terminal one the shortest and bearing a sing 
€ 
short pedicels. Flowers purple red, ovoid-globul ,_ about : 
long, glabrous. Petals separating; disk indistinct ; style very sho 
Mr. Gardiner’s specimens. Berries ovoid-glob Of the nce 
: : globose. : 
Mr. Gardiner says: “ Grapes black, bunches in shape and appeal 
ts, p. 
says “the whole plant is pervaded with acidity, and prove 
in cases of scurvy.”
