Vitis rubra, Michx. (V. monosperma, Michx.). Red or Cat Grape. Fig. 3959. A slender but strong-growing vine, with small long-jointed angled red glabrous herb-like shoots and red petioles: lvs. small to medium, ovate-acuminate, dark green and glossy, sometimes indistinctly pubescent on the nerves below, the sinus obtuse, the blade either nearly continuous in outline or (commonly) prominently lobed or even parted, coarsely notched: stamens in the sterile fls. long and erect: clusters loose and long-peduncled, branched, the fls. opening very late: berries small and late (1/4 – 3/8 in. diam.), black without bloom, with little juice and commonly containing but a single seed, which is large and broad. Ill. and Mo. to Texas; known mostly along the Wabash River and along the Mississippi in the latitude of St. Louis. G.F. 2:341 (repeated in Fig. 3959).—A handsome plant. V. palmata, Vahl, founded on Virginian specimens, is probably V. vulpina, although it is sometimes made to replace the name V. rubra.
