The latest monographer {Planehon, DC. Monogr. Phaner. 5), refers thirty or mors species to Vitis in the main account and in the addendum, and more than 200 to Cissus. North America is particularly rich in Vitis, not only in number of species but in the widespread distribution and the abundance of the plants.
