Family:  Vitaceae
Author:  Roxb.

Known Hazards:  None known

Mature Height:     Mature Width:

Habitat:  Found at altitudes between 900 to 1800 metres in Jaunsar and Tehri Gerwhal in the Himalayas[158].

Cultivation Notes: Prefers a deep rich moist well-drained moderately fertile loam[1, 200]. Grows best in a calcareous soil[200]. Succeeds in sun or partial shade though a warm sunny position is required for the fruit to ripen[200]. Plants climb by means of tendrils[182]. Any pruning should be carried out in winter when the plants are dormant otherwise they bleed profusely[182, 200]. This species is closely related to V. flexuosa and is included as a sub-species of that species by some botanists[11]. Plants in this genus are notably susceptible to honey fungus[200].
