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.
