Schizandra (Greek, schizein, to cleave, and aner, andros, man, stamen, referring to the cleft or separate anther-cells). Including Sphaerostema and Maximowiczia. Magnoliaceae. Ornamental vines grown chiefly for their handsome bright green foliage and the scarlet or orange-red berry-like fruits.<br />
<br />
Deciduous twining shrubs: lvs. alternate, long-petioled, entire or denticulate, exstipulate: fls. slender-stalked, in few-fld. axillary clusters, dioecious or monoecious; sepals and petals 9-12, not differing; stamens 5-15, more or less connate: carpels numerous, imbricated in the fl., developing into berries disposed on the elongated filiform receptacle, forming a drooping raceme.—Ten or 12 species in E. Asia from N. China and Japan to the Malay Archipelago and one species in N. Amer. The frs. of the Asiatic species are eaten in their native countries.<br />
<br />
These are handsome vines mostly twining to the height of 10 to 20 feet, with bright green medium-sized, generally ovate or elliptic, slender-stalked leaves and with axillary long-stalked usually cup-shaped white or red flowers followed by showy scarlet or red, rarely black, berry-like fruits forming drooping racemes. S. chinensis is hardy North, while the other Chinese species are somewhat tenderer; the native S. coccinea can be grown only South. They may be used for covering rocks, trees, shrubs, or fences, and seem to thrive best in partly shaded and somewhat moist places in a porous, sandy loam. To enjoy the very showy fruit which ripens at the end of August or in September, both sexes must be planted together, as most species are dioecious. Propagation is by seeds, by greenwood cuttings under glass, root-cuttings or layers, and also by suckers.<br />
S. glaucescens, Diels. Similar to S. chinensis: lvs. oval to elliptic, denticulate, glaucescent beneath: fls. orange-red: fr. scarlet. Cent. China.—S. grandiflora, Hook. f. & Thoms. Lvs. elliptic, denticulate: fls. carmine or pink, 1 in. across: fr. red. Himalayas, W. China.—S. Henryi, Clarke. Branches winged: lvs. broadly ovate to elliptic-ovate, glaucescent beneath: fls. creamy yellow, on pedicels 2-3 in. long. Cent. China. G.C. III. 38:162.— S. nigra, Maxim. Similar to S. chinensis: lvs. smaller, quite glabrous: fls. white: fr. bluish black. Japan. Seems more tender than S. chinensis.—S. propinqua. Hook. f. & Thoms. (Sphaerostema propinquum, Blume). Lvs. ovate to ovate-lanceolate, about 4 in. long on 1/2 in.-long petioles: fls. pale yellowish: fr. scarlet, forming racemes to 6 in. long Himalayas. B.M. 4614. For cult. in subtropical regions or in the warm greenhouse. Var. sinensis, Oliver. Lvs. oblong to lanceolate, remotely dentate. Cent. and W. China.—S. pubescens, Hemsl. & Wilson. Lvs. broadly elliptic to ovate, remotely denticulate, pubescent beneath, 3-4 in. long: fr. red and orange in racemes about 4 in. long. Cent. China.—S. rubriflora, Rehd. & Wilson. Lvs. obovate to oblong-obovate, denticulate: fls. dark red, about 1 in. across: fr. crimson, in long racemes. W. China.—S. sphenanthera, Rehd. & Wilson. Similar to S. chinensis: lvs. obovate or elliptic, glabrous: fls. orange-red, 3/4 in. across; stamens many: fr. scarlet. Cent. and W. China. Var. lancifolia, Rehd. & Wilson. Lvs. lanceolate, minutely denticulate: fls. smaller. W. China.<br />
