Vitis linsecomii, Buckl. (V. diversifolia, Prince. V. aestivalis var. Lincecumii, Munson). Post-oak. Pine-wood, or Turkey Grape. More stocky than V. aestivalis, climbing high upon trees but forming a bushy clump when not finding support: lvs. densely tomentose or velvety below: berries large (1/3-3/4 in. diam.), black and glaucous, mostly palatable; seeds mostly much larger than in V. aestivalis (often 3/8 in. long). High post-oak (Quercus stellata) lands, S. W. Mo. to Texas and E. La.—Munson distinguishes it from V. aestivalis by larger berries and seeds, larger lvs. which are bluish in the var. glauca, greater endurance of drought. A promising species for the pomologist. It bears the name of Dr. Gideon Lincecum, and is often written V. Lincecumii, but if such original spellings as Wisteria, Zanthoriza, Gleditsia, Stewartia and many others are to be retained, consistency requires that we hold to Buckley's original spelling, V. Linsecomii.

Var. glauca, Munson (V. aestivalis var. glauca, Bailey). Lvs. and mature wood glaucous-blue on the body beneath, but the veins rusty: berries and seeds larger. S. W. Mo. to N. Texas.—Much like V. tricolor, but lvs. thicker and more pubescent below, and tips of shoots rusty-tomentose: berries larger and the clusters strongly shouldered.
