Discussion

Variety floridana is found on the coastal plain and intergrades with var. baileyana along the fall line at the edge of the Piedmont. Some workers recognized it at the species rank as Vitis simpsonii (for example, L. H. Bailey 1934; D. B. Ward 2006b), despite the confusion on the name by Munson; see discussions in B. L. Comeaux and P. R. Fantz (1987). It is sometimes confused with V. aestivalis; see discussion under that species.
