Taxonomic notes
Synonyms: Muscadinia munsoniana (Simpson ex Munson) Small; Muscadinia rotundifolia (Michaux) Small.[1]
Variations: Vitis rotundifolia var. munsoniana Simpson ex Munson.[2]
Description
"High-climbing or trailing vines; pith brown, continuous or discontinuous through the nodes. Leaves simple, acute or acuminate, serrate, base cordate, petiolate. Inflorescences paniculate. Calyx flat, round, usually without lobes; petals 5, 0.5-2.5 mm long, cohering at the summit, separating at the base, falling at anthesis; disk of 5 connate or separate glands, 0.2-0.4 mm long; stigmas small, style conical, 0.2-0.5 mm long. Berry dark purple, globose; seeds 1-4 usually red or brown, pyriform, 4-7 mm long."[3]
"High-climbing vine with adhering bark, conspicuous tendrils, and pith continuous through node; young branches angled, puberulent. Leaves suborbicular or widely ovate, to 8 cm long or wide, glabrate or glabrous. Mature inflorescences to 5 cm long, few-fruited; berries 1-2 cm in diam.; seeds ca. 6 mm long."[3]
Distribution
Ecology
Habitat
V. rotundifolia responds negatively to agricultural-based soil disturbance in South Carolina coastal plain communities. This marks it as a possible indicator species for remnant woodland.[4][5] However, it responds positively to soil disturbance by heavy silvilculture in North Carolina[6] and exhibits positive as well as negative responses to heavy silvilculture in North Florida.[7] V. rotundifolia responds negatively to soil disturbance by clearcutting and roller chopping in North Florida.[8] It exhibits no response to soil disturbance by improvement logging in Mississippi.[9] V. rotundifolia responds negatively to soil disturbance by clearcutting and chopping in North Florida flatwoods forests.[10]
Vitis rotundifolia is frequent and abundant in the Calcareous Savannas community type as described in Carr et al. (2010).[11]
Phenology
V. rotundifolia has been observed flowering from March to May and in July with peak inflorescence in May.[12]
Seed dispersal
This species is thought to be dispersed by consumption by vertebrates.[13]
Pollination
The following Hymenoptera families and species were observed visiting flowers of Vitis rotundifolia at Archbold Biological Station:[14]
Apidae: Apis mellifera, Bombus impatiens
Halictidae: Agapostemon splendens, Augochloropsis anonyma, A. sumptuosa, Lasioglossum placidensis
Megachilidae: Megachile brevis pseudobrevis, M. mendica, M. petulans
