6. V. araneosus. Foliis lato-cordatis, sublobatoangulatis, inte- 

 gris, trilobis aut quinquelobis, lobis acuminatis, dentatis, dentibus 

 submucronatis, supra glabris, subtus araehnoideo-villosis, villositate 

 plus minus ferruginea. Racernis subdensis, baccis majoribus nigris. 



Hah. — In the upper parts of Georgia. Vulg. Fox grape. 



Stem moderately large and high. Leaves broad, cordate, sublo- 

 bately angled, entire and three or five lobed, acuminate dentate; the 

 teeth submucronate, above glabrous, beneath arachnoideo-villous, 

 more or less ferruginous; in the older leaves this villosity forms into 

 small tufts or knots, and in the very oldest almost entirely vanishes, 

 although in the youngest it is very thick and close. Racemes dense; 

 berries of a middling size, *5 of an inch in diameter, black, often 

 very sweet and agreeable. The leaves are sometimes 8 inches long 

 and as many wide. 



This species is well worth cultivating. 



7. V. bicolor. Foliis lato-cordatis sublobato-angulatis acuminatis 

 subintegris et tri aut quinquelobis irregulariter dentatis, dentibus 

 acuminatis aut mucronatis supra glabris subtus pallidioribus, in ju- 

 nioribus sparse arachnoideo-villosis. Racernis laxis, baccis parvis 

 nigris. 



Hab. — From Pennsylvania to Virginia. V. aestivalis, Darlington, 

 Florula Cestrica. 



Stem moderately large and high. Leaves broad- cord ate, sublo- 

 bately angled, acuminate, subentire, and three or five-lobed, irre- 

 gularly dentate; the teeth acuminate or mucronate, above smooth; 

 beneath paler in the younger leaves, sparsely arachnoideo-villous, 

 the villosity entirely vanishing with age. Racemes long, loose and 

 compound; berries small, black, -3 of an inch in diameter, sweet and 

 agreeable.
