Question

Scientific Name: Vitis aestivalis × V. riparia = V. ×slavinii Common Name: Slavin’s grape

can anyone give a description of this plant, along with leaf shape, flowers, etc.

Answer 1

Vitis riparia

River grape commonly grows on riverbanks. It is a native American climbing or trailing vine, widely distributed across central and eastern Canada and the central and northeastern parts of the United States, from Quebec to Texas, and eastern Montana to Nova Scotia. Its almost hairless, lustrous green, coarsely-toothed leaves and few tendrils distinguish it from other grapes (Vitis). The fruits produced by this species tend to be sour to human tastes even when ripe, they do provide food for many species of birds. Many specialist insects feed on the leaves, stems, and roots.

The Leaf

The leaf blade is simple (i.e., lobed or unlobed but not separated into leaflets)

There is one leaf per node along the stem

The edge of the leaf blade has lobes, or it has both teeth and lobes

The edge of the leaf blade has teeth

The duration of the leaves drop off in winter (or they wither but persist on the plant)

The plant does not have spines, prickles, or thorns

Leaf blade length is about 100–200 mm

Leaf blade width of 70–150 mm

The leaves have leaf stalks

lower surface of leaf blades green and nodes of branchletswithout bloom

Vitis aestivalis

An enthusiastic climber, summer grape vine climbs nearly all the tree species, scaling heights over 30 feet (9m). They are native to eastern North America from southern Ontario east to Maine, west to Oklahoma, and south to Florida and Texas.The ripe grape production peaks in early November, and it is a critical food source for more than 80 species of birds as they stoke up for their migrations, and mammals, including bears, which are building fat reserves for hibernation.

armature on plant

the plant does not have spines, prickles, or thorns

The length of leafblade is Up to 200 mm

Leaf blade having a width of100–300 mm

The leaves having leaf stalks

Generally fruit type its fruit is fleshy

Leaf's lower surface of blades either with a bloom or partially concealed by hairs, in both case the green color of the leaf obscured, and branchlets often with a bloom about the nodes.

Vitis slavini or slavin's grape is also native to american continent.
