| Home Page | Cissus is a large genus in the grape family. In the 80's the genus was split according to some details of the flower, and the large caudiciform species were moved to the genus Cyphostemma. What is left in cissus are mostly vining species native of tropical and subtropical areas. The flowers typical of the grape family are green and unsignificant. They produce fruit shaped as small grapes. Many of the species have poisonous fruit.
Most species cannot take any frost.
