The original description of Trochostigma rufu, Sieb. et Zucc., is so meagre: 
that it might be equally well applied to Actinidia callosa, Lindl., were it not 
for the figure of the fruit which aecompanies it. As it is specifically in- 
separable from 7. arguta, Sieb. et Zucc., the description of which follows it 
in the original enumeration, its specific name has priority for the aggregate 
species. 
It is a common climber in some parts of Japan. Its fruits are eaten and 
its sweet sap is used as a drink. Its long stems are used for rope and its. 
bark is made into paper. 
А. rufa, in its widest sense, may be distinguished from allied species by its. 
long-stalked membranous leaves, glabrous except for the veins and vein-axils; 
largish flowers with petals more than twice the calyx ; brown sagittate 
anthers ; glabrous bottle-shaped ovary; and brown smooth shortly-beaked 
fruit.
