Read about Humulus japonicus in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture 

Humulus japonicus, Sicb. & Zucc. Annual (or at least treated as such): foliage very like the last, but usually more deeply cut and not less than 5-lobed: catkins not glandular. Japan, China (perhaps intro.) Manchuria; somewhat run wild from cult, in this country. G.C. II. 24:716.—Intro, to general cult, in 1886, and now one of the most popular climbing herbs. It is a very quick grower, plants 10-20 ft. long coming from seed sown in early May. It is very easy of cult, and usually seeds itself. Var. variegatus, Hort., is the most popular form. Gng. 1:241. A.F. 8:489. The foliage is vari- ously streaked and splashed with white. Seeds of this variety will give a large percentage of variegated forms, and the plants usually show interesting variations. H. japonicus is more popular as an ornamental vine than H. lupulus, because it grows so quickly from seeds, and also because it has such interesting variegated forms; but H. lupulus has a distinct charm in its great hanging hops, and the heavy odor is enjoyed by some persons.
