Ampelocissus latifolia
Ampelocissus latifolia is a climbing shrub in the grape family, native to the Indian subcontinent and northern Thailand, grown in seasonally dry tropical climates. It is a vigorous climber that needs a support and a warm, dry-season-tolerant setting.
Ampelocissus latifolia is a plant in the Vitoideae subfamily of the grape family native to the Indian subcontinent, including Bangladesh, India, Nepal, and Pakistan.
It is the type species for the genus of Ampelocissus and was initially treated under its basionym, Vitis latifolia, which was described scientifically in 1824. In 1884, Jules Émile Planchon reclassified the species under the genus Ampelocissus.
