6-9-38 ??? Prunus nigra Ait G 499; BVBII 323
Hough 268 No fla fr. Many found in area, just the
road side near not far in front road. Bushes were
prob 3-4 ft v did not suggest young trees. Branchles
slender, gray. Young growths light green, glabrous. Ivs
exactly like ill (Hough), the largest 4 1/2 x 3 3/4 in on a petiole of 1/2 in which bears 1-2 (usually 2) light green glands
near apex. Stipules (some fallen) are narrowly linear
(1 cm long) with 1-3 lobes, branches near base with small
dark (glandules?) football around it.
Ivs thin, with short spreading hairs on both sides. Teeth
serrated with dark gland.
6-9-38 Vitis
No fla fr. Roadside southward. RBT assumes it is the
same as found commonly in woods. Young branchy
petiole v tendrils distinctly reddish. Youngest Ivs
slightly coppery. Ivs mostly rattles like V. vulpina L. BVB
# 507 but 2 Ivs are like ill of V. bicolor (upper left in ill)
Nodes solid. Tendrils intermittent. Stems glabrous.
Petiole of older Ivs becoming glabrous. Very young Ivs
shining above v glabrous except for very short hairs on
veins, veins beneath more generally supplied with
longer hairs (white, spreading). Older Ivs are nearly
glabrous.
Since Ivs are not "wooly" or "pubescent of floccose" there
seems nothing in our range acc to G 564 except V. vulpina L. (which grows on stream-banks or
