AMPELOPSIS (from Gr. atreXor , vine, and &lies, appearance, as it resembles the grape-vine in habit) , a genus of the vine order Ampelideae and nearly allied to the grape-vine. The
plants
  are rapidly-growing,
hardy
 , ornamental climbers, which flourish in common
garden
  soil, and are readily propagated by cuttings. They climb by means of tendrils. A. quinquefolia, Virginian creeper, a native of North America, introduced. to Europe early in the 17th
century
 , has palmately compound leaves with three to five leaflets. A. tricuspidata, better known as A. Veitchii, a more
recent
  introduction (1868) from japan, has smaller leaves very variable in shape; it clings readily to stone or brick
work
  by means of suckers at the ends of the branched tendrils.
