length; stem long, slender, tapering, blackish green; — plant not 
running, or running but feebly; leaves large, clear green, more or less 
distinctly 3 or 5 lobed; petioles numerous, nearly uniform pale green, 
the larger ones distinctly channeled, hairs rather sparse; vine dark 
green, very short. 
The fruits form very early, and are used while the skin may be 
readily pierced by the finger nail.

p. 266, represents the above equally well, almost the only difference in 
the two being in size.

pattypan.
