unusual facts about ''Vitis'' spp.



Acosmeryx naga

The larva of the species have been found on plants in the genera Vitis, Ampelopsis, Actinidia, and Saurauia.

Ampelography

Ampelography (ἄμπελος, "vine" + γράφος, 'writing') is the field of botany concerned with the identification and classification of grapevines, Vitis spp. Traditionally this has been done by comparing the shape and colour of the vine leaves and grape berries; more recently the study of vines has been revolutionised by DNA fingerprinting.

Argyrotaenia franciscana

The larvae feed on a wide range of nearly 80 plants, including Malus, Prunus armeniaca, Persea americana, Rubus, Vaccinium, Vitis, Citrus x paradisi, Citrus lemon and Pinus radiata.

Black-lyre Leafroller Moth

The species is primarily known as a pest of Kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa), but the caterpillars feed on various other trees with fleshy fruit, such as Citrus, hawthorns (Crataegus), persimmons and ebonies (Diospyros), gum trees (Eucalyptus), fuchsias (Fuchsia) and grapevines (Vitis).

History of American wine

The first vines of Vitis vinifera origin planted in what is now the United States were planted in Senecu in 1629, which is near the present day town of San Antonio, New Mexico.

Hyles annei

The larval hosts are unknown, but they will probably feed on a wide range of plants including Epilobium, Mirabilis, Oenothera, Vitis, Lycopersicon, Portulaca, Fuchsia, Gaura lindheimerii, Alternanthera pungens and Euphorbia dentata or related plants found in a dry climate.

John Tzetzes

For the other works of Tzetzes see J. A. Fabricius, Bibliotheca graeca (ed. Harles), xi.228, and Karl Krumbacher, Geschichte der byz. Litt. (2nd ed., 1897); monograph by G. Hart, "De Tzetzarum nomine, vitis, scriptis," in Jahn's Jahrbucher für classische Philologie. Supplementband xii (Leipzig, 1881).

L'Anse aux Meadows

Because of this, the common hypothesis prior to Ingstad's theories was that the Vinland region existed somewhere south of the Northern Massachusetts coast, because that is roughly as far north as grapes grow naturally.

Muscadine

Some taxonomists have also suggested splitting two additional species off from Vitis rotundifolia, Vitis munsoniana and Vitis popenoei.

Petunidin

It is a dark-red or purple water-soluble pigment found in many redberries including chokeberries (Aronia sp), Saskatoon berries (Amelanchier alnifolia) or different species of grape (for instance Vitis vinifera, or muscadine, Vitis rotundifolia), and also part of the pigments responsible for the petal colors in many flowers.

Romeritos

Romeritos is a Mexican dish from Mexico City, consisting of sprigs of a wild plant known as Romerito (Suaeda spp.) that looks like rosemary, therefore its name.

Usedom Botanical Gardens, Mellenthin

Kitchen Garden - fruit trees and bushes including apple (Malus), pear (Pyrus), cherry (Prunus cerasus), and peach (Prunus persica), as well as a small vineyard with a variety of grapes (Vitis) and hedges of Lonicera xylosteum and Humulus lupulus.

Vitis

In that sense, a vine is placed as sole symbol on the tomb of Constantia, the sister of Constantine the Great, and elsewhere.

Vitis amurensis

Vitis amurensis is a relic of pre-glacial subtropical vegetation of the Far East, it reaches the continental latitude Lake Kizi (about fifty-first parallel).

Vitis tiliifolia

Vitis tiliifolia may have some resistance to Pierce's disease (PD) which afflicts many commercial grape species; it has exhibited atypical symptoms despite harboring high populations of the plant pathogen Xylella fastidiosa, which causes PD.
