Millettia (named in honor of Dr. J. A. Millett, botanist, and who wrote on China in 1726). Leguminosae. About 100 or so species of Old World tropical trees and large shrubs, usually climbers; differs from the Japanese and N. American genus Wistaria in the hard usually flat and thick pod not opening so readily: lvs. large, odd- pinnate; lfts. opposite, stipellate: fls. showy, in axillary racemes often fascicled, simple or paniculate and terminal, white, purple or reddish.—Although an abundant genus in Trop. Afr. and the far E., it has yielded little for American horticulture. The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
