Vitis vinifera, Linne. 
It might bo worthy of trial, how far the grapevine can bo grafted 
on such other species of the extensive genus Vitis, as may not bo 
attacked by the destructive Pemphygus or Phylloxera. 
Vitis vulpina, Linne. 
Extends also to Japan, Manchuria and the Himalayas. The 
Cotowba-grape, according to Mr. Meehan, does not belong to this 
species, but descended from V. Labrusca or V. ceestivalis. The 
Clinton and Elsinboro -grapes, according to this eminent American 
, horticulturist, seem to have had their origin with V. cordifolia 
and V. riparia. V. Labrusca extends also to the Himalayas. 
Dr. Planchon's important memoir, Les Vignes Americaines, 
published in 1875, should be consulted in reference to American 
grapes.
