This member of the Vitaceae family was given this name by Carl Linnaeus in 1759. It is found in Belize, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Panama, Peru, USA and Venezuela. If it is a synonym of Cissus discolor, it is a good part of Asia!). It is growing in a well drained soil with quite some water and some to lots of sun. The caudex can grow to fifteen centimetres in diameter, the vines can reach six to ten metres in length. The flowers are from white over greenish to yellow. The generic name is derived from the Greek word κισσος kissos, meaning 'ivy'. The species name means 'looking like Sicyos'.
