Vitis amurensis

One of the approximately 30 Asiatic vines or wild vines with the full botanical name Vitis amurensis Rupr. It was first described in 1857 by the Austrian botanic Franz Josef Ruprecht (1814-1870), who is also included in the name. Botanical synonyms or old names are Vitis vinifera var. amurensis Regel, because the German botanist Eduard A. Regel (1815-1892) considered it a variety of Vitis vinifera, and Vitis thunbergii.
