In addition to "Vitis subg. Euvitis" (formerly also "Vitis subg. Vitis"), "Vitis subg. Muscadinia" is one of the two subgenera of the genus "Vitis". As the subgenus is often only given in the short form, the term "Vitis" can lead to confusion, as this is also the name of the genus (genus). Correctly, all species of the subgenus Muscadinia should begin with "Muscadinia", for example "Muscadinia rotundifolia". In fact, however, Muscadinia species are often referred to as "Vitis", for example Vitis rotundifolia. See also under chromosome, DNA and vine systematics.

Serious sources on the internet are rare - and Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one such source. When researching for my articles, I regularly consult the wein.plus encyclopaedia. There I get reliable and detailed information.
