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.
