Cissampelos is a genus of flowering plants in the family Menispermaceae.

Cissampelos pareira is used in Chinese herbology, where it is called xí shēng téng (锡生藤) or (亞乎奴). The species is also known as abuta and is also called laghu patha in Ayurvedic medicine. An ethanol extract of Cissampelos sympodialis has been shown to have antidepressant-like effects in mice and rats.[1] The Maasai people of Kenya use Cissampelos mucronata as a forage for their cattle.[2]
