Vitaceae

Vitaceae A.L. de Jussieu. Common name: Grape Family.

Key to Vitaceae

A family of about 14-16 genera and 900 species, vines (rarely small trees or herbs), of tropical, subtropical, and temperate regions of the Old and New Worlds. Tribes and genera follow Ma et al. (2020), with the exception of separating Muscadinia (and extraregional Ampelocissus) from Vitis, as is suggested as equally parsimonious by their findings.
