***Cayratia*** is a genus of flowering plants in the family Vitaceae. It consists of species of [vine](/source/Vine) plants, typical of the tribe [Cayratieae](/source/Cayratieae). Some of them are used by humans, and they are found in tropical and subtropical areas of Asia, Africa, Australia, and islands of the Pacific Ocean.[1]

Within the Vitaceae, *Cayratia* is most closely related to *[Tetrastigma](/source/Tetrastigma)* and *[Cyphostemma](/source/Cyphostemma)*. As previously configured, the genus *Cayratia* was found not be [monophyletic](/source/Monophyletic) (for example, *C. japonica* was moved to *[Causonis](/source/Causonis)* being distinct from *Cayratia pedata*, the [type species](/source/Type_species)).[1]
