Wisteria
Sign in to saveWisteria is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae (Leguminosae). The genus includes four species of woody twining vines that are native to China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, southern Canada, the Eastern United States, and north of Iran. They were later introduced to France, Germany and various other countries in Europe. Some species are popular ornamental plants. The genus name is also used as the English name, and may then be spelt 'wistaria'.
OverviewAI-generated
Wisteria is a genus of plants within the family Fabaceae. It belongs to the order Fabales and the class Magnoliopsida. The genus was named after Caspar Wistar and is distinct from Glycine. Common names for this taxon include wisteria, glycine, and glicinija. Its inflorescence is a raceme.
The genus has been introduced to various regions, including Algeria, the Baltic States, Bangladesh, Bulgaria, East Himalaya, France, Germany, India, Italy, Korea, Krym, and Nepal. One species, the Chinese wisteria, is not extinct. Records of Wisteria exist in institutions such as CHAS, CM, ANSP, CAS, and CINC, with specimens documented in the United States and Australia.

Wisteria is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae (Leguminosae). The genus includes four species of woody twining vines that are native to China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, southern Canada, the Eastern United States, and north of Iran. They were later introduced to France, Germany and various other countries in Europe. Some species are popular ornamental plants. The genus name is also used as the English name, and may then be spelt 'wistaria'.
In some countries in Western and Central Europe, Wisteria is also known by a variant spelling of the genus in which species were formerly placed, Glycine. Examples include the French glycines, the German Glyzinie, and the Polish glicynia.
