Hybridization and Crossing of the Grapevine - William Chamberlain Strong
Operation
BOTANY AND HYBRIDIZATION OF THE GRAPE.
THE old Latin noun vitis, meaning vine,
derived from the verb vieo, to bind with twigs,
was adopted by Tounefort, and accepted by Linnæus, as the botanic name for the grape. Dr. Whittaker expresses the opinion that it is derived from the noun vis, signifying strength.
The grape belongs to the natural order Vitaceæ, and to the class Pentandria and order Monogynia of Linnæus. In the European species, the flowers are generally perfect; but in our native kinds the flowers are frequently imperfect, the stamens and pistils being separated in different flowers. In common language, the grape is divided into two classes,—the European and the American. These two classes are decidedly distinct; and yet there are varieties of each family which have so few of these distinctions, and approach so nearly to the characteristics of the other family, that it is sometimes difficult to determine to which class they belong. The European class, Vitis vinifera, is but a single species, from which have sprung all the different kinds which have been or now are cultivated in Europe,—probably exceeding two thousand varieties. While these varieties have their own individual habits, more or less distinct, yet they give good evidence of belonging to the one species vinefera. Which one of these varieties was the parent of all the rest, it is now impossible to determine.
