Menispermum
''Menispermum'' (moonseed) is a small genus of deciduous climbing woody vines in the moonseed family (Menispermaceae). Plants in this genus have small dioecious flowers, and clusters of small grape-like drupes. The name, moonseed, comes from the shape of the seed, which resembles a crescent moon. The word ''Menispermum'' is derived from the Greek words μήν (''mēn''), meaning (crescent) moon, and σπέρμα (''sperma'') meaning seed.
