EXTRA INFORMATION:

The genus name Schisandra derives from the Greek "schisis", meaning "crevice," and "andros", meaning "man," in reference to the cleft on the stamen of some varieties.

Schisandra is a deciduous, climbing, woody, aromatic vine native to eastern Asia. It grows in woods in rich, loose soil, preferring a cool climate. The leaves are oblong, alternate, and smooth on top. The pale yellow flowers grow in axillary clusters. The fruits, which are reddish in color, occur in drooping bunches, each containing two kidney-shaped seeds.

Schisandra berries can be eaten. They are also sometimes added to wine.
