Pterisanthes

Pterisanthes^[1] is a vine plant genus in the subfamily Vitoideae. Its native range is Indochina to W. Malesia including the Philippines.^[2] The relationship between Pterisanthes and another genus "Nothocissus" with Ampelocissus has been debated,^[3] with the latter now subsumed within Ampelocissus, but with Pterisanthes retained.^[4]
