Taxonomic Comments
Varieties not recognized by Kartesz (1999 floristic synthesis), but had been recognized by him in his 1994 checklist. Following Kartesz (1999), includes Parthenocissus inserta as to identification of type, but most plants formerly called "P. inserta" are now treated as the distinct species P. vitacea, as in Kartesz (1999).
