This is very closely allied to Actinidia callosa var. arguta (Sieb. et 

 Zucc.) Makino ; but it is apparently distinct from A. polygama Miq. and 

 A. Kolomikta Maxim. It is found in places near and not too far from 

 sea in southern Japan, while var. arguta is widely distributed throughout 

 Japan and common in mountain districts, extending to Isl. Sachalin beyond 

 Hokkaido (Ezo) northwards. The berry with green pulp is mucilaginous, 

 and it is edible like that of var. argida, and there is the native name 

 Nashi-lcadzura, meaning Pear-Climber.
