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).
