Millettia japonica, Gray. A Japanese woody climber: lvs. light green, odd-pinnate; lfts. narrowly ovate, 4-6 pairs, 1 ½ in. long, 1 in. apart: racemes simple, nodding, 5-8 in. long. Probably not hardy in the N. Has been offered by dealers in Japanese plants. S.Z. 1: 43 (Wistaria japonica).—At the Arnold Arboretum (Boston) it kills to ground but comes up in spring, not blooming; on Long Island, it blooms and even fruits.

Glabrous throughout: lfts. 4-6 pairs, petiolulate, narrow-ovate or ovate-lanceolate, acuminate but obtuse at point, entire, light green: fls. small, white, in long drooping simple racemes to 8 in. long; calyx cylindrical urn-shaped or cup-shaped, pubescent; standard obovate, lacking the callosities at base; ovary and style glabrous: pod linear-oblong, mucronate at apex, woody, not large. Japan, Korea.—Little known in this country, and not hardy in the northern parts.
