MAGNOLIACEAE. 65 
SCHIZANDRA. 
(Family Magnoliaceae). 
Woody twiners: deciduous. Stems 
moderate, terete, aromatic: pith 
moderate, browning and becom- 
ing spongily excavated. Buds 
moderate, collaterally multiple in 
the axils of their lower scales, 
sessile, elongated-ovoid, acute, 
with some 6 or 8 ciliolate scales. 
Leaf-scars alternate, half-round, 
scarcely raised: bundle-traces 3, 
clustered: stipule-scars lacking. 
Schizandra differs from _ the 
preceding Magnoliaceae in the 
conspicuous characters of being a 
climbing shrub and of lacking the 
annular’ stipule-scars that so 
distinctly mark Magnolia, Miche- 
lia and Liriodendron; and on 
technical characters it is placed 
in a different section of the family.

nensis have been studied by Schneider, f. 92; and Shirasawa,
