Abstract
Vitaceae (the grape family) consists of about 14 genera and 900 species primarily distributed in tropical regions. The family is well known for grapes (species of Vitis L.) and is economically and ecologically important because many species are major climbers in tropical and temperate forests. The grape family is characterized by leaf opposed tendrils, which may be modified to form an inflorescence. The present investigation is an attempt to study taxonomical attributes on the genus of Cissus in Thrissur district. Taxonomic studies were conducted so as to classify the plants of the genus Cissus found in Thrissur district. Cissus vitiginea, Cissus quadrangularis, Cissus latifolia, Cissus repens and Cissus heyneana were studied. Observations of the taxonomical peculiarities solve the species identification problem in Vitaceae.
