The Cayratieae is one of five tribes of vine plants that are now recognised in this subfamily Vitoideae.[1] It contains genera restored or newly erected from species in the previously configured genus Cayratia, which was found not be monophyletic: (i.e. distinct from Cayratia pedata: the type species of that genus).

Genera

  1. Acareosperma Gagnep. – Laos
  2. Afrocayratia J.Wen, L.M.Lu, Rabarij. & Z.D.Chen – Tropical & Subtropical Africa, Yemen, Mayotte, Madagascar
  3. Causonis Raf. – Tropical & Subtropical Asia to SW Pacific
  4. Cayratia Juss. – Tropical & Subtropical Asia to W Pacific
  5. Cyphostemma (Planch.) Alston – Tropical & S Africa to Indochina
  6. Pseudocayratia J.Wen, L.M.Lu & Z.D.Chen – E Asia: Japan to Vietnam
  7. Tetrastigma (Miq.) Planch. – Tropical & Subtropical Asia to SW Pacific
