glabrescens, not V. coignetiae][1][2] Vitis coignetiae, called crimson glory vine, is a plant belonging to the genus Vitis that is native to the temperate climes of Asia, where it can be found in the Russian Far East, (Sakhalin); Korea; and Japan (Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku).

The species name is dedicated to Marie Coignet, née Sisley,[3] who reportedly brought seeds back from a trip to Japan with her husband in 1875.

Degron sent specimens to a Professor Planchon of Montpellier who named them Vitis coignetiae but did not retain them due to their low resistance to phylloxera.

In the cooler Norman climate the vine produces a bitter wine, rich in color and extract.

[citation needed] It is a recipient of the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
