Taxonomic concept


Taxon : Vitis labrusca
Accepted Synonym(s) : NA
Excluded from concept : NA
NatureServe Concept Reference: Kartesz 1994
Relationship to Flora of North America: Equal
Taxonomic Notes: While Vitis labrusca is considered a distinct taxon (Flora of North America 2016), certain accessions sampled from Virginia and Connecticut populations may not belong to the V. labrusca clade, based on molecular data. Further work is needed to determine if these populations represent species other than V. labrusca (Wen et al. 2018). Vitis labrusca hybridizes with V. riparia, resulting in Vitis x novae-angliae (Walker et al. 2019).

Details on the map elements

County Level Features

All county level features report information that as aggregated to the county level. This include text reference to the county (state/county) and spatial point reference that occur within the county.

  • Counties with a record: This presence absence map shows a county as green if it has at least one record from any of the evaluated sources.
  • Sum of records within County: This layer depicts the total number of unique records of a species across all sources within a county.
  • Counties listed in USDA Plants and/or Bonap Only (No occurrence points) These counties only contain a reference from USDA Plants and/or BONAP. There are no identified iNaturalist, herbarium, or germplasm occurrences from these locations.
  • Counties with one or more Herbarium or Germplasm Occurrence: These counties have at least one herbarium and/or germplasm occurrence. There may also be additional records within this county(iNaturalist, USDA Plants, BONAP, NatureServe).
  • Counties with iNaturalist Observation only: These counties only have species observations from iNaturalist.

Occurrence Features

  • Germplasm Occurrences: Occurrence data with living specimens stored in a Genebank or Botanical Garden.
  • Herbarium Occurrences with web url: Occurrence data of herbarium specimens, which includes an url for the source herbarium data.
  • Herbarium Occurrences without web url: Occurrence data of herbarium specimens.
  • iNaturalist observation data: Research grade observations from iNaturalist.

General Methods

Gathering Data

Data was gathered at the Genus level from the following

public repositories - Seinet - Genesys - Wiews - GRIN - USDA Plants - Crop Wild Relative 2020 publication

Sourced through communication with data owners - 2023 Botanical Garden Survey – available in the full source data - BONAP - IUCN

Data Standardization and Taxonomy

data standardization : All data sets were altered to matched a standard data structure. The specific translation of data sets can be seen here.

Taxonomy: The full synonyms cross walk can be viewed here.

Assigning the State and County to each occurrence

When latitude and longitude data was used to assign the state/country when possible. If no latitude and longitude data was provided, the state and county names were pulled from the attribute data associated with the record. If a state or county name could not be assigned by either method the record was excluded from this analysis.

Flora of North America

If state level distribution information was provided for a given specific species, that information was used to filter the states in which counties are evaluated.

Summary of Occurrence Data

This table includes all records used to generate the map.

Data summarized to each County

The table below displays additional attribute data for all the counties with known occurrences. Columns can be filtered and sorted. The following states are included in this FNA state designation: Kentucky, Alabama, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Indiana, Massachusetts, Illinois, Vermont, New Hampshire, Delaware, Connecticut, Ohio, Wisconsin, Mississippi, North Carolina, Virginia, New York, Michigan, New Jersey, Maryland, South Carolina, Maine, Rhode Island

Data excluded by Flora of North America state filter

The above map and table includes all occurrence data that falls within the established state range defined by Flora of North America.

If the state range for a species was defined by Flora of North America all the occurrence records will be shown on the map and above table.

The table below shows the occurrence data that falls outside the established Flora of North America states.

The following States are included in the FNA description: Ontario, Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, D.C, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin
