You are all quite right, I should have provided more context. Here is the part of the translation in full:
"The Euvitis subgenus può essere suddiviso in:
* specie americane dei climi temperati, a loro volta suddivise in:
- serie orientali (resistenti alla Peronospora ma scarsamente alla Fillossera, con attitudine uvifera)
- serie centrali (resistenti ma con scarsa attitudine uvifera)
- serie occidentali (resistenti alla siccità, prive di attitudine uvifera)
The article is about vine species and grapes in general, their nutritional value and other properties and I quite agree that it does sound very strange to talk of a vine which does not produce grapes...
Does that make it clearer? |
