Genera
Antigonon
Antigonon is a genus of flowering plants in the buckwheat family, Polygonaceae. It contains four species of lianas native to Mexico and Central America. [more]
Brunnichia
The genus Brunnichia also know as redvine or buckwheat vine are perennial woody vines native to the United States. [more]
Coccoloba
Coccoloba is a genus of about 120?150 species of flowering plants in the family Polygonaceae. The genus is native to tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas, in South America, the Caribbean and Central America, with two species extending into Florida. [more]
Muehlenbeckia
Muehlenbeckia or the Maidenhair genus is native to the southern hemisphere, especially South America, Papua New Guinea, Australia and New Zealand and has been introduced both by birds and cultivation to temperate locales north of the equator. Some are tiny alpine mat-forming plants whereas others are vigorous vines with masses of dark stems and minimal small bronze-tinged leaf. In virtually frost-free environments rampant species can become weedy and difficult to eradicate. [more]
Neomillspaughia
Podopterus
At least 5 species and subspecies belong to the Genus Podopterus.
