An evergreen wisteria (vine) of the family Scoliaceae (APG classification: Scoliaceae). The scientific name Kadsura is derived from the Japanese word kazura. The vine reaches a diameter of 2 cm. The leaves are alternate, elliptical, slightly thick, soft, and glossy, and the undersides tend to be purple. There are sparse sawtooth. In summer, pale yellow-white flowers measuring 1 to 2 cm in diameter appear in the leaf axils. The flowers are dioecious, with many pistils and stamens. The fruit is a beautiful aggregate with many spherical red berries on a fleshy receptacle. The contrast between the dark green leaves and the red fruit is popular, and it is planted in gardens and used as a hedge. It is commonly found in mountains and fields, and is distributed from Honshu to Okinawa, Jeju Island in Korea, the warm-tropics of southern mainland China, and Taiwan. It is an ancient plant that is also mentioned in the "Manyoshu". The bark contains a large amount of mucilage that is extracted with hot water and used as a hair styling product, hence the alternative name of Binankazura (beautiful man's kudzu). The dried fruit is used as a traditional Chinese medicine for nutrition and invigoration and as a cough suppressant, and is called Minamigomishi (Southern Gomishi), but Minamigomishi is actually a different species of the same genus, K. longipedunculata Finet et Gagnep., which is native to China. [Kunihiko Ueda July 20, 2018] The fruit is a cluster of beautiful, spherical red berries that grow in October and November. This plant has been known for a long time and is planted in gardens and hedges. It flowers in August and September. Also known as Binankazura (beautiful kudzu). ©Shogakukan Photo by Okuyama Hisashi "> Sand vine Source: Shogakukan Encyclopedia Nipponica About Encyclopedia Nipponica Information | Legend |
