=1.= Bailey, _Gray's Syn. Fl._, =1=:423. 1897. =2.= Munson, _Tex.
Sta. Bul._, =56=:230, 239. 1900. _Smooth Canyon Grape._
Plant shrubby and much branched, climbing little, the small and
mostly short (generally shorter than the leaves) tendrils deciduous
the first year unless finding support, internodes short, the
diaphragms twice thicker (about 1-16 inch) than in _V. riparia_ and
shallow-biconcave; stipules less than one quarter as large as in
_V. riparia_; leaves large and green, very broad-ovate or even
reniform-ovate (often wider than long, thin, glabrous and shining
on both surfaces, the basal sinus very broad and open making no
distinct angle with the petiole, the margin unequally notch-toothed
(not jagged as in _V. riparia_) and indistinctly three-lobed, the
apex much shorter than in _V. riparia_; * * * cluster small (2 to 3
inches long); the berries 1/3 inch or less thick, black with a thin
bloom, ripening three weeks later than _V. riparia_ when grown in
the same place, thin-skinned; pulp juicy and sweet; seeds small. *
* * Little known, and possibly a dry country form of _V. riparia_.
In habit it suggests _V. arizonica_ var. _glabra_, from which it is
distinguished, among other things, by its decidedly earlier
flowering and larger leaves with coarser teeth and less pointed
apex.
According to Munson _Vitis treleasei_ inhabits "ravines and gulches of
western New Mexico, Arizona and southern Utah." This species was named
by Munson but the only description we have been able to find is that of
Bailey given above in which we have changed his "_vulpina_" to
"_riparia_." The species is of no importance horticulturally.
