A vigorous-growing climber, or trailer, root- 
ing at the joints ; a native of North America, 
from Pennsylvania to Carolina, in woods 
on the Alleghany Mountains. It was intro- 
duced into England in 1629; and, from its 
rapid growth, and the beauty of its foliage. 
(especially in autumn, when it changes to a 
deep rich red), it soon became popular all 
over Europe. It grows freely in the smoke 
of cities; and in London, and more especi- * 
ally in Paris, it may be found reaching to 
the tops of houses from 50 ft. to 60 ft. in 
height. In fine seasons, it produces flowers, 
which are of a greenish purple colour, suc- 
ceeded by corymbs of small black fruit. 
Plants, in the London nurseries, cost 1s. 
each, and seeds Is. a packet ; at Bollwyller, 
plants are 1 franc each; at New York, 15 
cents.

It was introduced in 1700; and, being much admired for the beauty of its 
foliage, is not uncommon in collections. Plants, in the London nurseries, 
cost Is. 6d. each; at Bollwyller,? ; at New York, 50 cents. 
' App. i. Anticipated hardy Species of Ampelopsis. 
R A. bétrya Dec, is a native of the eastern coast of Africa, with cordate leaves, reddish flowers, 
and berries black and eatable. It is described by Loureiro, but has not yet been introduced. 
A. heterophilla Blume, Vitis javanica Spreng., a native of Java, has palmate leaves, and is con- 
sidered as likely to endure our winters in the open air, 
A A. capreolita G. Don, Vitis capreolata D. Don, is a native of Nepal, and resembles A. he- 
deracea in every particular, except that it is one half smaller. Mr. Royle has given a figure 
of this plant (Zddus., i. 26.), and observes that he considers it the same. as the Vitis hederacea of Dr. 
Wallich. The genera Vitis, Ampeldpsis, and Cissus are so mixed together in the older botanical 
works, that there may probably be some of the above names that belong to Vitis or Cissus, and some 
names under /\tis Sad Cissus which belong to Ampelépsis,
