Vitis heyneana is a species of climbing vine in the grape family endemic to Asia. It can be found in shrubby or forested areas, from almost sea-level, to 3200 meters above. It has globose berries (10–13 mm diam.) that are purple to almost black.
Vitis heyneana is known by its two subspecies: V. h. ssp. heyneana (autonym), and V. h. ssp. ficifolia. In Chinese, the former is called mao pu tao, meaning wool grape; it has leaves that range in shape from oval, ovate-oblong, to ovate-quinquangular. The latter subspecies is called sang ye pu tao, or mulberry-leaf grape, and its leaves are usually trilobiate to cleft (a few leaves interspersed on a vine will be undivided). However, V. h. ssp. ficifolia may be a homotypic synonym of Vitis ficifolia Bunge, as the same type was used for both.
Other notable differences exist as well:
V. heyneana ssp. ficifolia shares territory with V. h. ssp. heyneana in the Chinese provinces of Henan, Shaanxi, Shandong, and Shanxi; and it alone occupies Hebei and Jiangsu; but of the two subspecies, V. h. ssp. heyneana has by far the wider range; in addition to those already mentioned, V. h. ssp. heyneana is found in the provinces of Anhui, Chongqing, Fujian, Gansu, Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Sichuan, Xizang, Yunnan, and Zhejiang), as well as the countries India, Bhutan, and Nepal.
