The common virgin vine ( Parthenocissus vitacea ), also known as climbing wall wine or five- leaved wild vine , is a climbing plant from the vine family (Vitaceae). Your home is North America.

description

This species resembles the self-climbing virgin vine , but hardly forms adhesive discs. It is very rare to find one or two adhesive discs in shady spots at the end of a tendril. It is therefore like the grapevine on support of climbing aids z. B. instructed by wooden lattice. The young shoots are green, which is a distinguishing feature from other types of virgin vines. The leaves themselves are five-fingered, the flowers greenish-yellow. In summer, deep blue berries are formed on red stems, which are a popular food for birds.

The number of chromosomes is 2n = 40.

distribution

The home area of ​​the common virgin vine covers large parts of eastern to central North America. In Canada , the species is native to Ontario, Quebec, and Manitoba; in the United States , the deposits extend from Maine in the northeast, west to Montana, and southwest to New Mexico , Texas, and Arizona . It is not native to the southeast.

Systematics

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

use

Since the ordinary virgin vine does not form adhesive discs and can therefore be guided through climbing aids, the risk of structural damage is lower than with other types of virgin vines.
