Kadsura (Japanese name). Magnoliaceae. Tropical Asian woody climbers. Kadsuras have leathery or rarely membranous foliage: fls. axillary, solitary, whitish or rosy, unisexual; sepals and petals 9-15, gradually changing from the outermost and smallest to the innermost and petaloid; staminate fls. with an indefinite number of stamens, which are separate or coalesced into a globe: carpels indefinite in number, 2-3-ovuled: mature berries in globular heads.—About 8 species, of one of which Charles S. Sargent writes (G.F. 6:75): "The flowers are not at all showy, but it is a plant of extraordinary beauty in the autumn when the clusters of scarlet fruit are ripe, their brilliancy being heightened by contrast with the dark green, lustrous, persistent leaves. ... It might well be grown wherever the climate is sufficiently mild, as in the autumn no plant is more beautiful."
