Parthenocissus vitacea, Hitch. (P. quinquefolia, Graebn. Ampelopsis quinquefolia var. vitacea, Knerr. A. dumetorum, Hort. P. dumetorum, Rehd. P. laciniata, Small). Usually low and rambling over bushes, occasionally climbing high into trees, glabrous: tendrils with 3-5 twining branches only exceptionally ending in adhesive disks: the young growth green: lfts. oval or elliptic to oblong, acuminate, usually cuneate at the base, dark green and lustrous above, lighter green and usually lustrous below, coarsely serrate, glabrous, 2-5 in. long: cymes dichotomous on peduncles l 1/2-3 in. long, opposite the lvs.: fr. bluish black, about 1/3 in thick, usually slightly bloomy, with 3-4 seeds. June, July; fr. July, Aug. E. Canada and New England to Assiniboia and from Mich. south to Texas and Colo. B.M.2443. S.T.S. 1:89. Var. lacin-iàta, Rehd. (P. quinque/folia var. laciniata, Planch.). Lfts. smaller, narrower, more deeply and incisely serrate, usually yellowish green. Wyo. to New Mex. Var. macrophylla, Rehd. (Ampelopsis macrophylla, Hort. A. quinquefolia var. latifolia, Dipp. A. Roylei, Hort.). Lfts. elliptic, large, dark green, sometimes 8 in. long and 5 in. broad. Garden form. Var. dubia, Rehd. (P. hirsuta, Graebn.). Young branchlets and lvs., at least on the veins beneath, more or less hairy.—This species is somewhat hardier than the following, but does not cling to walls; it may be used for covering trellis-work.
