Some Fx Hybrids 
27 
Shoots: Rapidly elongating, inclining toward nakedness. 
Color of foliage: Light brown to reddish-brown. This is especially 
noticeable on the rapidly elongating canes and on the tendrils. The 
Fig. 16. Leaves from V. vinifera, V. rotundifolia, and from a hybrid vine. 
Upper leaf is from Malaga Seedling No. 1 (female parent), lower right- 
hand leaf is from a Rotundifolia vine (male parent), lower left-hand leaf 
is from a hybrid vine. The size of the hybrid leaf is largely determined by 
the Rotundifolia species while the character and the lobing seem to be more 
or less intermediate between that of both the parents. Reduced.
