Question
This grape didn't seem to match anything under Vitis that i could tell in GoBotany. Few grapes seem to have leaves with such small teeth and so rounded at the tip. Can you narrow it down for me. Found at Martin Burns Wildlife Managent Area, Newbury.
Answer
chaffeemonell, this may be Vitis labrusca (fox grape). It routinely shows very small teeth. Notice the dense layer of gray tomentum on the lower surface, which is also diagnostic for this native species of grape. Best wishes.
