We report a species, Cissus elongata Roxb. which was collected from center and northern Taiwan. Cissus elongata is easily distinguished by the presence of five leaflets compared to the simple leaf in the other species of Taiwan. The populations from Hsinchu represents the northern distribution limit of C. elongata, which was previously known with the distributional range from Mainland China, Vietnam, India, Bhutan and Sikkim.
