2.8. Vitaceae

2.8.1. New combination in Ampelocissus

Wen et al. (2013) transferred Pterisanthes sinuosa Merr. to Ampelocissus Planch. (i.e., Ampelocissus sinuosa (Merr.) J.Wen & Boggan ), because the results of their molecular phylogenetic studies indicated that Pterisanthes Blume is nested within Ampelocissus . This was also concluded in subsequent studies (e.g., Liu et al. 2016, Wen et al. 2018). This generic concept is also adopted in CDFP. However, we follow Trias-Blasi et al. (2014) in considering this species to be synonymous with Pterisanthes polita (Miq.) M.A.Lawson. Because the basionym of the latter name antedates Pterisanthes sinuosa , a new combination in Ampelocissus is needed.
