Parthenocissus quinquefolia. Planch. (Vitis quinquefolia, Lam. Ampelopsis quinquefolia, Michx. A. hederacea, DC. A. virginiana, Hort.). Virginia Creeper. Fig. 2766. High- climbing: tendrils with 5-8 branches ending in adhesive tips: the young growth purplish: lfts. elliptic to obovate- oblong, acuminate, usually cuneate at the base, coarsely and often crenately serrate, dull green above, glaucescent beneath: cymes crowded into terminal panicles: fr. bluish black, slightly bloomy, about 1/4 in. thick, with usually 2 or 3 seeds. July, Aug.: fr. in Sept., Oct. New England south to Fla. and Mex., west to Ohio, 111., and Mo. Em. 2:535. S.T.S. 1:88. Var. murorum, Rehd. (P. quinquefolia var. lalifolia, Rehd. P. radicantissima, Graebn. Ampelopsis muralis, Hort. A, radicantissima, Schelle). Tendrils with shorter and more numerous, usually 8-12 branches: If te. generally broader, the outer ones usually broadly ovate and rounded at the base. This is a more southern form and somewhat tenderer. Var. minor, Rehd., is similar to the preceding variety, but lfts. smaller and broader, oval to orbicular-ovate, rounded at the base, on slender stalks about 1/3in.long. Var. hirsuta, Planch. (P. hirsuta, Small. Ampelopsis hirsuta, Don. A. Graebneri, Bolle. A. pubescens. Schlecht. A. quinquefolia var. radicantissima Rehd. A. radicantlssima, Hort.). Young branchlets, infl. and the lvs. soft-pubescent, at least beneath, usually bright red while young, otherwise like the type. Gt. 48:1462. Var. Saint-Paulii, Rehd. (P. Saint-Paulii, Graebn. Ampelopsis Saint- Paulii, Hort.). Young branchlets and lvs. beneath pubescent: lfts. oblong-oboyate, cuneate at the base, short- stalked or nearly sessile, sharply serrate with usually spreading teeth: panicles elongated: tendrils with 8—12 branches: aerial rootlets often present. Iowa and 111. to Mo. and Texas. R.H. 1907, p. 567. Var. Engelmannii, Rehd. (P. Engelmannii, Graebn. Ampelopsis Engel- mannii, Hort.); does not differ much from the typical form except in its generally smaller foliage.—The species is a very valuable climber of vigorous growth with the foliage changing to bright scarlet in fall; the varieties hirsuta, Saint-Paulii, and murorum, are particularly adapted for covering walls; they cling firmly and form a dense, close covering like P. tricuspidata, but grow more quickly and more straight upward than that species.
