Vitis doaniana, Munson. Plant vigorous, climbing high or remaining bushy if failing to find support, with short internodes and rather thin diaphragms: lvs. bluish green in cast, mostly large, thick, and firm, cordate-ovate or round-ovate in outline, bearing a prominent triangular apex, the sinus either deep or shallow, the margins with very large, angular, notch-like teeth and more or less prominent lobes, the under surface usually remaining densely pubescent and the upper surface more or less floccose: cluster medium to small, bearing large (5/8 in. and less diam.), black, glaucous berries of excellent quality; seeds large (1/4 – 3/8 in. long), distinctly pyriform. Chiefly in N. W. Texas, but ranging from Greer Co., Okla., to beyond the Pecos River in New Mex. G.F. 9:455.—The species varies greatly in pubescence, some specimens being very nearly glabrous at maturity and others densely white-tomentose. The plant would pass as a hybrid of V. vulpina and V. candicans, except that these species do not often occur in its range. It bears the name of Judge J. Doan, of Wilbarger Co., Texas. It gives promise as a parent of pomological grapes. The Arnold Arboretum reports it as "a fast-growing plant and appears to be perfectly at home in New England. The leaves, are large, thick and firm, and rather pale bluish green in color. The fruit, which grows in small clusters, is blue covered with a pale bloom and of fair quality."
