8-18-33 Parthenocissus quinquefolia Planchon
SUN II 2.45, BM J C.P. 481, = P. ledra — Greene J 563
A) Rd. (in wallabor les Planches) where path from Val-Mont
meets highway. And seen frequently along rd to West Floris
J left large (the terminal to 4½ x 2½ in.) rattlesnake bit
grayish green above v much lighter gray green beneath.
B) FL. D2 Rundle's wall opp V.M. Stv petals more
abundant and def red-purple (instead of barely tinged
as in A). Lfts smaller (the terminal to 3 x 1¼ in.) upper
surface not greatly unlike A, a little less smooth looking.
Under surface not so strongly contrasting gray.
Whole effect of plant much brighter and less
heavy. No distinction in P. tricuspidata (or practically none).
Differences in inflo suggest that:
A) maybe P. quinquefolia acc to J 536
B " " P. vitacea " " " = var. vitacea acc.

normally easily recognizable two.]

481. FL. D2 Rundle's wall. Note that many holes below in the
this cross-section permit def 2-celled with 20 rules in
each cell. Note also that after petals have fallen one
sees plainly (20x) the cucubimble disk but which fills
the truncate calyx & supports the ovary.
