Ampelopsis is a genus of flowering plants in the family Vitaceae, which includes around 30 species. These plants are primarily found in temperate and subtropical regions of Asia and North America. They are known for their climbing or trailing growth habit, often using tendrils to support themselves on nearby structures. The leaves of Ampelopsis species are typically lobed and can vary in shape and size. The plants produce small, greenish flowers that develop into berries, which can be attractive to birds and other wildlife. Some species are also used in traditional medicine and for ornamental purposes in gardens.
