Grapevine \Grape"vine`\, n. (Bot.)
A vine or climbing shrub, of the genus Vitis, having small
green flowers and lobed leaves, and bearing the fruit called
grapes.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The common grapevine of the Old World is Vitis
vinifera, and is a native of Central Asia. Another
variety is that yielding small seedless grapes commonly
called Zante currants. The northern Fox grape of
the United States is the V. Labrusca, from which, by
cultivation, has come the Isabella variety. The
southern Fox grape, or Muscadine, is the V.
vulpina. The Frost grape is V. cordifolia, which
has very fragrant flowers, and ripens after the early
frosts.
