Title: One New Species and One New Subspecies of Cissus (Vitaceae)
Abstract: Cissus colombiensis and C. verticillata subsp. colombiana, new taxa of Vitaceae, are de- scribed from Colombia. In addition to descriptions and illustrations, comments on their probable re- lationships and distributions are presented. Cissus L. has approximately 55 species in South America and is the largest genus in the Vitaceae. Many of the species described by Baker (1871; placed in the genus Vitis), and Planchon (1887) were considered synonyms in a recent taxonomic survey by the author (Lombardi, 1995), while one new species and one new subspecies were found in Colombia: Cissus colombiensis and C. verticillata subsp. colombiana.
