It is one of 12 genera within the vine family (Vitaceae) - as is Vitis, which includes cultivated vines. With the exception of Vitis, all other genera are colloquially referred to as "wild vines".

Parthenocissus - quinquefolia

There are about a dozen species native to the forests of Asia and North America. However, different sources sometimes give different names and synonyms:

Parthenocissus chinensis (China)
Parthenocissus dalzielii or Parthenocissus landuk (China)
Parthenocissus feddei (China)
Parthenocissus henryana...
