Comments
Map currently incomplete. See Comments under Vitis cinerea sensu lato. Virginia collections seem to confirm Moore’s (1991, Sida 14) description of var. floridana as primarily a taxon of the Coastal Plain. However, the relative distribution of the two varieties still needs more fleshing out, as many herbarium specimens are not identified to variety. In addition, the two taxa can often be difficult to distinguish because all the diagnostic characters are gradational and overlapping.
Habitat
Floodplain forests, alluvial swamps, seepage swamps, low mesic forests, and shrubby clearings. Apparently frequent in the Coastal Plain, extending into the e. Piedmont.
Native Status
Native
