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.
