Parthenocissus (Greek, parthenos, virgin, and kissos, ivy; translation of its French name). Syn. Quinaria, Psedera. Vitaceae. Woody vines planted chiefly for their handsome foliage.

Deciduous or rarely evergreen shrubs climbing by means of tendrils with adhesive tips, rarely these tips not developed: bark with lenticels; pith white: lvs. alternate, digitate or 3-lobed, long-petioled : fls. in peduncled compound cymes opposite to the lvs., often crowded at the end of the branches and forming panicles, perfect, rarely polygamous; calyx minute, petals 5, rarely 4, spreading; stamens 5 or 4; style short and thick; a distinct disk wanting; ovary 2-celled, each cell with 2 ovules: fr. a 1-4-seeded berry.—About 10 species in N. Amer.Mex, E. Asia, and Himalayas. Formerly usually classed with Ampelopsis, which see for the differentiating characters between the allied genera.

These are high-climbing vines with handsome three- to seven-foliolate or three-lobed leaves assuming beautiful tints in autumn and with small greenish flowers in cymes or panicles followed by bluish black or black berries. They are particularly valuable as they cling firmly to walls and trees by means of adhesive tips of the tendrils without any other support. P. quinquefolio, P. vitacea, and P. tricuspidata are hardy North, while the other species are more or less tender; P. Henryana, may be grown in the greenhouse for its beautiful foliage. In humid and good soil all species grow vigorously and soon cover large spaces. Propagation is by seeds or by hardwood cuttings or by layers, but P. tricuspidata and its varieties are usually grown from greenwood cuttings.
