Parthenocissus vitacea

Ordinary creeper (Parthenocissus Vitacea )

The Ordinary creeper (Parthenocissus Vitacea ), also known as rank Ender wall wine, is a climbing plant of the family grapevine family ( Vitaceae ). Their home is North America. This type is similar to the self -climbing Virginia creeper, but hardly forms holdfasts. Very rare to find in sheltered places at the end of a tendril one to two adhesive discs. Therefore, it is like the vine on the support of trellises instructed by wooden lattice, for example. The young shoots are green, which is considered a differentiator to other types of Virgin vines. The leaves themselves are fünffingrig, the flowers greenish yellow. In summer, deep blue berries are formed on red stems, which are a popular bird food.

Dissemination

The home site of the ordinary Woodbine includes large parts of eastern and central North America. In Canada, the species in Ontario, Quebec and Manitoba is native; in the U.S. the rich deposits of Maine in the northeast and southwest to west to Montana to New Mexico, Texas and Arizona. In the southeast it is not native.

Use

Since the ordinary Woodbine forms no adhesive discs and can therefore be performed by trellises, the risk of structural damage is lower than with other types of Virgin vines.

System

The basionym is Ampelopsis quinquefolia var Vitacea Knerr; the first description today recognized by the American botanist Albert Spear Hitchcock was published in 1894. Another synonym for this species is Parthenocissus inserta auct.
