--><p><i>Ampelopsis</i> Michaux has been shown to be paraphyletic by recent phylogenetic analyses (A. Soejima and Wen J. 2006; Ren H. et al. 2011; Nie Z. L. et al. 2012), with molecular data placing the African Rhoicissus Planchon and the South American <i>Cissus</i> striata Ruiz & Pavon complex within <i>Ampelopsis</i>. To maintain the monophyly of genera of Vitaceae, Wen et al. (2014) separated <i>Ampelopsis</i> into two genera: <i>Ampelopsis</i> and <i>Nekemias</i>. The two genera can be distinguished by their leaf and bud morphology. <i>Nekemias</i> has pinnately compound leaves (versus simple, trifoliolate, or palmately compound leaves in <i>Ampelopsis</i>) and complex axillary buds (versus serial accessory buds).</p>
