  Grapevine \Grape"vine`\, n. (Bot.)
     A vine or climbing shrub, of the genus {Vitis}, having small
     green flowers and lobed leaves, and bearing the fruit called
     {grapes}.
     [1913 Webster]
  


     Note: The common grapevine of the Old World is {Vitis
           vinifera}, and is a native of Central Asia. Another
           variety is that yielding small seedless grapes commonly
           called {Zante currants}. The northern {Fox grape} of
           the United States is the {V. Labrusca}, from which, by
           cultivation, has come the Isabella variety. The
           southern {Fox grape}, or {Muscadine}, is the {V.
           vulpina}. The {Frost grape} is {V. cordifolia}, which
           has very fragrant flowers, and ripens after the early
           frosts.
