'Ampelopsis humulifolia' from the website Trees and Shrubs Online (treesandshrubsonline.
Native to China. It resembles A. bodinieri in its lustrous leaves, but these are of a brighter green, and usually three- or five-lobed, rarely unlobed, with rounded sinuses. Also distinguished by its fruit, which is pale yellow, changing partly or wholly to pale blue. It has been confused with A. glandulosa var. brevipedunculata, but differs in its thicker and firmer leaves, which are whitish beneath. Introduced to cultivation by the French missionary David around 1865.
