Synonym (also wall vine) for Parthenocissus; see there.
Botanical name (parthenos = virgin, kissos = ivy) of the deciduous, liana-like climbing plant. Trivial names are Jungfernrebe, Mauerkatze, Mauerwein, Veitschi and Zaunrebe in German-speaking countries, and Virginia Creeper in English-speaking countries.

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