Vitis aestivalis Michx.
SUMMER GRAPE
**
A recent nuclear DNA phylogeny found that two samples from Florida (Sumter & Taylor Co.) referred to as V. rufotomentosa formed a clade sister to a Florida sample (Leon Co.) identified as V. aestivalis, together embedded in a broader V. aestivalis clade which further included another Floridian (Gadsden Co.) V. aestivalis (Talavera et al. 2023). A plastome analysis recovered two Florida samples tenatively called V. rufotomentosa to form a clade apart from other samples (from Texas and New Jersey) (Wen et al. 2018).
