{{Inc| Menispermum (Greek, moonseed). Menispermacese. Moonseed. Hardy and attractive semi-woody climbers. Twining glabrous or slightly pubescent vines, with alternate long-petioled lvs., which are peltate near the margin, and axillary or super-axillary panicles or cymes of small dioecious not showy fls.: fr. a berry-like drupe, containing a flattened crescent-shaped or curved stone (whence the name moonseed): stamens 9-24, with 4 loculed anthers in the staminate fls., 6 and sterile in the pistillate fls.; pistils 2-4, with broad stigmas; sepals 4-8, in 2 series; petals 6-8, shorter than the sepals. As conceived by the early botanists, Menispermum contained many species which are now referred to as Cocculus, Abuta, Cissampelos, Tinospora, Anamirta and other genera. The genus is now considered to be bitypic, one species in N. Amer. and the other in Siberia, China and Japan. (Diels, in Engler's Pflanzenreich, hft. 46, 1910.) Both the moonseeds are neat and interesting vines, and are hardy in the northern states and Ont. Prop. readily by seeds; or plants of M. canadense may be dug from the wild. Cuttings of ripened wood may also be used. }} ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Varieties== ==Gallery== <gallery perrow=5> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== <references/> *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
