cotyledons. The nodes in young wood also carry marks of brown 
coloration. The young unfolding leaves are usually covered with 
a yellowish, occasionally slightly pink, pubescence. 
Leaves: Small, the same size as that of Rotundifolia, deeply lobed 
into five, occasionally seven parts; teeth large, more like Rotundifolia 
than Herbemont; leaves silky hairy above and thinly pubescent beneath, 
especially along the petioles and veins; blades thin, glossy green and 
smooth above, paler beneath; stipules larger than in Rotundifolia. 
Fig. 14. A Vinifera-Rotundifolia hybrid vine (Malaga Seedling No. 1 
X G-52) showing the character of growth, shoots, leaves, tendrils, etc. of this 
vine. Not all hybrids of this lot resemble the vinifera parent as closely as 
does this vine. Reduced. 
Flower-clusters: Very small, similar to those on small clustered 
staminate Rotundifolia vines; peduncle and rachis not stout. 
Flowers: Staminate on this vine; stamens upright; pistils almost 
entirely suppressed.
