Vitis arizonica (cont.) 

Cluster: Similar to that of V. vulpina, but smaller, peduncle and rachis 
cottony, pedicels 1/8" long, slender. 
Flowers: fFertile,-— stamene recurved; dise distinct, lobed; ovary gl°bose; 
style snort, thick; stigma broad; staminate,- stemens ascending, Slender, pollen 
grains small. 
Berries: Very small, round or oyate, with little bloom; vinous flavor, very 
eweet, good quality. 
Seeds: 1 to 3, usually 2; 1/6" to 1/5" long by 1/6" to 1/8" broads oval or 
broadly obcordate, very a color pale pinkish-purple; beak very short and 
blunt or small and acute, welldefined; raphe cbscure or prominent, becoming a fine 
distinct thread to the beak; aga narrow, in a rather deep basin, its face 
elevated often, or depressed, so as t© appear nearly obsolete, often a mere rim or °> 
erescent at base, sometimes invisible, groove extends to or over top of seed; 
ventral depressions short, rather wide apart, shallow. 
Plantlet: Seed-leaves medium to large, ovate, acute, green. 
It was obtained for me at, or rather in the mountains 30 miles north of 
Phoenix, Arizona, by Dr. Turner: at Chloride, New Mexico, by Mr. Parker, and near | 
Prescott, Arizona, in the Bradshaw Mountains, by Wr. D. Hatz. No wild or artificial 
hybrids are yest known to the writer, nor does there seem to be much of value in 
the species. It endures cold and drought well, but excessive moisture injures 
it, causing mildew and rot. It grows better in sandy then heavy soils. It 
grows easily from cuttings.
