These slender climbing shrubs have inconspicuous greenish white flowers in terminal panicles followed by berry-like, small, usually oblong, black or red fruits. The cultivated species are not quite hardy North and prefer sunny positions; they grow in almost any soil and are useful for trellis-work, when no dense shade is desired. Propagation is by seeds and by root-cuttings in spring under glass; also by layering the young shoots and by cuttings of mature wood in fall under glass.

Read about Berchemia in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture 

Berchemia (derivation uncertain). Rhamnaceae. Ornamental woody climbers, grown chiefly for their bright green graceful foliage.

Deciduous twining shrubs: Lvs. alternate, entire or nearly so, petioled, with conspicuous numerous parallel veins: fls. perfect; sepals, petals and stamens 5; calyx- tube shallow: ovary free, 2-celled, with a 2-parted style: drupe oblong to cylindric with a 2-celled stone.— About 12 species in S. and Cent. Asia, N. Amer. and E. Afr.

These slender climbing shrubs have inconspicuous greenish white flowers in terminal panicles followed by berry-like, small, usually oblong, black or red fruits. The cultivated species are not quite hardy North and prefer sunny positions; they grow in almost any soil and are useful for trellis-work, when no dense shade is desired. Propagation is by seeds and by root-cuttings in spring under glass; also by layering the young shoots and by cuttings of mature wood in fall under glass.

B. Giraldiana, Schneid. Allied to B. racemosa. Lvs. ovate- oblong, 1-3 in. long, grayish white beneath, with 9-11 pairs of veins; petioles ¾ in. long. W. China.—B. lineata. DC. Allied to B. scandens. Lvs. smaller, oblong-ovate, obtuse, with about 9 pairs of veins, grayish white beneath. N. and W. China.
