This genus, named in honor of the Greek physician Hippocrates, forms the Hippocrataceae family, which is closely related to the Celastraceae family. Most are woody vines, with over 100 species distributed in tropical regions. The leaves are simple and opposite or alternate. The ovary is superior and three-lobed. The seeds of some species, such as Hippocratea comosa Sw. (illustration), found in Western India , are said to be fatty and sweet and edible, but are not important. The Hippocrataceae family is a small group consisting of three genera and about 150 species, but is widely distributed from the tropics to the subtropics.

ギリシアの医学者であるヒッポクラテスを記念して命名されたこの属は,ニシキギ科に近縁なヒッポクラテア科をつくる。多くは木本性つる植物で,熱帯域に100種あまりが分布する。葉は単葉で対生あるいは互生する。子房は上位で3室。一部の種,たとえば西インドに分布するヒッポクラテア・コモサH.comosa Sw.(イラスト)の種子は脂肪分があり,甘く食用にされるというが,重要ではない。またヒッポクラテア科は3属150種ほどからなる小さな群であるが,熱帯から亜熱帯に広く分布する。
