Parthenocissus dalzielii
Parthenocissus dalzielii is a deciduous climbing vine in the grape family (Vitaceae), native to southern China and Taiwan, and used in Hong Kong for slope stabilization. It climbs by sticky suction-cup tendrils and is grown mainly for shade and cover on walls.
Parthenocissus dalzielii (Gagnepain 1911) is a creeper related to the grapevine family. It is a native plant of East and South-east Asia.
In China it is found in Anhui, Fujian, Guangdon, Guangxi, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Sichuan and Zhejiang. It is commonly used in Hong Kong by the government as part of slope stabilization. Its Chinese name is 爬山虎.
Parthenocissus dalzielii is recognised as a form of climate control as it provides shelter in summer yet loses its leaves in winter allowing for passive summer cooling and winter heating, reducing energy consumptions.
