   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}.
  
      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.
