Menispermaceae in Flora of North America @ efloras.org
Ernst, W. The genera of Berberidaceae, Lardizabalaceae, and Menispermaceae in the southeastern United States.
Inflorescences with bracts; pistillate flowers: sepal 1, petal 1, pistil 1; staminate flowers (not known in flora): sepals 4, petals 4, connate, stamen filaments fused, anthers 1-locular; leaf blade usually reniform; drupes pubescent

Menispermaceae, a family composed primarily by lianas with dioecious and small inconspicuous flowers (see image of Odontocarya sp.
Hence, endocarp ornamentation in Menispermaceae presents an excellent opportunity to assess complex patterns of morphological variation in the family.
It is hoped that elucidation of inter-generic phylogenetic affinities, based on molecular data, can be used as a framework for investigations of character evolution and evolutionary trends within the family, particularly among its neotropical components.

 Primaclade Tests
We have used the program to design primers for molecular evolutionary studies of the developmental genes KNOTTED1, LEAFY HULL STERILE1 and STMADS11 in grasses, for a phylogenetic study of the plant family Menispermaceae using the chloroplast gene ndhF, and for placing cereal genes on the map of foxtail millet.
NdhF is a subunit of the chloroplast encoded NADH dehydrogenase, a protein complex that may protect against photooxidative stress (20), and is widely used as a marker in phylogenetic studies (21).
Primaclade was able to design pairs of primers for 215 of introns (46% of the total) in 118 (56%) of the predicted genes investigated.

 PBIO 450 Lecture Notes - Magnoliidae -- Spring 1999
Takhtajan's similar views, published in obscurity in 1942 (as a mimeographed statement), were largely unknown beyond the confines of the newly imposed "Iron Curtain" so that even his 1954 book, published in Russian, was not widely consulted until an English translation appeared (as Origins of the angiospermous plants) in 1958.
Today, the core families associated directly or indirectly with the Ranunculales are Lardizabalaceae, Menispermaceae, Berberidaceae, Hydrastidaceae, Ranunculaceae, Circaeasteraceae, Pteridophyllaceae and Papaveraceae, to use the sequence adopted recently by Thorne (1997).
His distinction between Ranunculales and Papaverales was based on the number of sepals (more than two in the former, only 2 in the latter) and the generally apocarpous (Ranunculales) versus syncarpous (Papaverales) pistil.

 CAUDICIFORM Stephania pierrei
This member of the Menispermaceae family was described by Friedrich Ludwig Emil Diels in 1910.
It is found in Asia, growing in a well drained soil or peat with some to lots of water and some sun.
The caudex can grow to 30 centimetres or more, the vines to eight meters or more.

 Othreis fullonia
Except in the Pacific, larvae develop on plants belonging to the Menispermaceae family, especially the creepers belonging to the Tinospora, Tiliacora, Triclisia, and the Stephania genuses (Banziger, 1982; Comstock, 1963; Hargreaves, 1936; Mosse-Robinson, 1968).
In the Pacific, the larvae of this moth almost exclusively develop on plants belonging to the Erythrina genus, or false wiliwilis, a common landscaping plant, the only exception being the creeper, Stephania forsteri (Menispermaceae) (Cochereau, 1977).
In Hawaii larvae have been found on Erythrina fusca and Erythrina variegata orientalis (Heu et al.
