rhoicissusn.

Brit.

/ˌrəʊᵻˈsɪsəs/, U.S.

/ˌroʊəˈsɪsəs/

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin Rhoicissus.

Etymology: < scientific Latin Rhoicissus (J. E. Planchon 1887, in Ampelidæ, in A. de Candolle and C. de Candolle Monographiæ Phanerogamarum V. ii. 463), probably < ancient Greek ῥοῦς sumac (see rhus n.) + scientific Latin Cissus, genus name (Linnaeus Species plantarum (1753) 117; < ancient Greek κισσός (Attic κιττός) ivy (of unknown origin)), probably so called on account of the resemblance of certain species to a sumac.

Any plant of the genus Rhoicissus (family Vitaceae), comprising South African climbing shrubs with simple or palmately lobed leaves, several of which are grown as house plants; (in form Rhoicissus) the genus itself. Also called grape ivy.

1887 Bot. Gaz. 12 302 Rhoicissus is separated from Cissus, with nine species, while Cissus remains the largest genus, with 214 species.

1961 T. Rochford & R. Gorer Rochford Bk. Houseplants App. ii. 215 In planting up a bowl it is necessary to think ahead. A small Rhoicissus and two Peperomias would look handsome when planted, but the Rhoicissus is a far more vigorous grower than the Peperomias, and if left to itself would swamp the other plants.

1972 E. Palmer & N. Pitman Trees Southern Afr. II. 1416 It is easy to mistake the shrubby forms of Rhoicissus for Rhus species, as the leaves are very similar.

2002 J. Phelan Successful Conservatory vii. 78 The climbers which will do well in a low light are some of the evergreens with interesting foliage, such as the well-known philodendron or rhoicissus.
