|discussion=<p><i>Cissus verticillata</i> in the flora area is found in the southern two-thirds of peninsular Florida. The inflorescences of <i>C. verticillata</i>, and less often <i>C. trifoliata</i>, are sometimes greatly expanded and deformed by the smut Mycosyrnix cissi (de Candolle) Beck, with the individual flowers being transformed into subcylindric structures containing the spores of the fungus.</p>
