Abstract:
The family Vitaceae was recently catalogued for
Plants of Angola (Figueiredo & Smith 2008) by Retief
(2008), who recognised 20 species in the genus. During
ongoing work on the fl ora of Angola, two additional
species of Cyphostemma (Planch.) Alston were recently
newly recorded for the country. These are Cyphostemma
wittei (Staner) Wild & R.B.Drumm. and C. congestum
(Baker) Desc. ex Wild & R.B.Drumm. C. congestum had
already been recorded for Angola in an obscure publication
that was overlooked by previous reviewers of the
family in Angola.
