Parthenocissus vitacea), also known as thicket creeper, false Virginia creeper, woodbine, or grape woodbine, is a woody vine native to North America.

Parthenocissus inserta is a climbing and sprawling woody vine (liana), reaching lengths of 20 metres (66 ft), using small branched tendrils with twining tips.

[5] They differ in their means of climbing, with the tendrils twining around plant stems in P. inserta lacking the round, adhesive discs found on the tendril tips of P. quinquefolia, though the ends may be club-shaped when inserted into a crevice.

[6] One consequence of this is that (unlike P. quinquefolia) it cannot climb smooth walls, only through shrubs and trees.

[6] The berries of P. inserta are larger, 8–12 millimetres (3⁄8–1⁄2 in) in diameter, versus 5–8 mm broad in P.

Albert Spear Hitchcock raised the variety to the full species Parthenocissus vitacea in 1894.
