Vitaceae : The Grape Family To date five species of this family have been collected in the Oapan, San Juan Tetelcingo, and Ameyaltepec area, belonging to the genera, Ampelocissus (1 species), Cissus (3 species), and Vitis (1 species). The two vines named kókoroní:tah by the Oapan consultant, Silvestre Pantaleón, were so called because of their tendency to grow like a crown on the top of other plants. The following members of this family have been documented in sources consulted on Guerrero flora: Ampelopsis mexicana, Cissus cacuminis, Cissus martiniana, Cissus sicyoides, Cissus subtruncata, Cissus trifoliata, Cissus tuberosa, Parthenocissus quinquefolia, and Vitis cinerea. |
