Sabia (from its Bengal name, Sabja-lat). Sabiaceae, A genus of about 20 species of woody vines or sarmentose shrubs native to India, China, and Japan, with alternate petioled entire deciduous lvs. and axillary, solitary, or cymose, rather small and dull-colored, greenish, purplish, brownish, or yellow fls. followed by small blue drupe-like frs. Fls. perfect, 5-, rarely 4- merous; petals short, semi-orbicular to ovate; petals oval to oblong; stamens shorter than petals; ovary superior, 2-celled, each cell with 2 ovules: drupes usually reniform, blue, solitary or 2 and slightly cohering at the base, 1-seeded; stone reticulate.—Only the following recently intro. species is in cult., but little is yet known of its cultural requirements; at the Arnold Arboretum it is growing well under  ordinary conditions and has proved hardy. Prop. is by seeds and probably by cuttings. S. Schumanniana, Diels. Climbing shrub, to 10 ft., glabrous: branchlets green: lvs. petioled, oblong-lanceolate, rarely elliptic, acuminate, broadly cuneate at the base, bright green, reticulate beneath, 1/2 - 4 in. long: fls. greenish to greenish-purple, cup-shaped, 1/3 in. across, is slender-stalked, nodding, usually few-fld. cymes; peduncle filiform, 1-1 1/2 in. long: fr. reniform, 1/4 in. broad; stone slightly compressed, reticulate. W. China.—The drooping blue frs., if freely produced under cult., apparently constitute the chief ornamental feature of this species.
