Ampelopsis Michaux
Ampelopsis is a genus with ca. 15-30 species (depending on species delimitation) in Asia, Central and North America. The genus is most diverse in East Asia; 17 species occur in China, 13 of them endemic (Chen & al. 2007). At least five species are grown as ornamental vines in Europe (Richardson 1997, De Koning & al. 2000, Roloff & Bärtels 2006).
A single, very variable species, Ampelopsis glandulosa, has been recorded as an escape from cultivation in Belgium.
