| Vitis lincecumii |
Vitis lincecumii is a type of grape. It is often referred to by the nicknames: Big Summer Grape, Pine Wood Grape, Post Oak Grape, Sand Grape, South Western Aestivalis, Turkey Grape, and Vine Wood Grape.
Vitis lincecumii is very similar to another type of grape, the Vitis aestivalis. In the his work Keys to the Flora of Oklahoma, U.T. Waterfall notes that "Observations of V. linsecumii and V. aestivalis do not justifify separation of these species." The fruits of V. linsecumii type tend to be larger, ranging from 10-25 mm compared to the 4-12 mm fruit of the V. aestivalis. Seeds are often are larger with the V. linsecumii as well, ranging from 5-6 mm, as opposed to just 3-4 mm for the V. aestivalis.
A hybrid of two American species, V. linsecomii and Vitis rupestris, is Jaeger 70. Jaeger 70 is the female progenitor of many French American hybrid grapes. Unlike most types of Vitis, V. linsecumii can not be easily propagated by dormant cuttings.
