Lvs. only flocculent or cobwebby or glaucous below when fully grown {i. e., not covered with a thick, dense, felt-like tomentum, except sometimes in V. Doaniana). [Nos. S0-S4.) F. Wliite-tipped Grapes, comprising species ivith the eiiits vf the growing shoots and the under surface of the Ivs. whitish or gray. 20. Girdiina, Munson. Valley Grape. Strong, climb- ing thick diaphragms: Ivs. medium to large and rather thin, broadly cordate-ovate, with a rather deep and narrow sinus and nearly continuous or obscurely 3-lobed outline (sometimes markedly 3-lobed on young shoots),. the teeth many and small and acute, the apex short- triangular or almost none, the under surface remaining closely ashy-tomentose: clusters large and very com- pound, each one dividing into three or four nearly equal sections, which are in turn shouldered and thyrse-like: berries small, black and slightly glaucous, the skin thin but tough, pulp finally becoming sweet: seeds medium in size, pyriform. S. Calif., south of the 36th parallel. —Differs from K. Califoi-nica in the more pubescent shoots and foliage, smaller and sharp teeth, decompound clusters, smaller less glaucous berries, and smaller seeds. Shoots of V. Californica often bear Ivs. with small and muticous teeth, and such specimens without the are difficult to distinguish from this species.
