''Menispermum canadense'' (Canadian moonseed, common moonseed, or yellow parilla) is a flowering plant in the family Menispermaceae, native to eastern North America, from southern Canada south to northern Florida, and from the Atlantic coast west to Manitoba and Texas.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work = Flora of North America )〕 It occurs in thickets, moist woods, and the banks of streams. ==Growth==
It is a woody climbing vine growing to 6 m tall. The leaves palmately lobed, 5–20 cm diameter with 3-7 shallow lobes, occasionally rounded and unlobed. The fruit are produced in 6–10 cm diameter clusters of purple-black berries, each berry is 1-1.5 cm in diameter. The seed inside the berry resembles a crescent moon, and is responsible for the common name. The fruit is ripe between September and October, the same general time frame in which wild grapes are ripe. Both the leaves and fruit resemble those of grapes; confusion can be dangerous as Moonseed fruit is poisonous. The root is a rhizome, so one specimen can form colonies of genetically identical plants.
