Schizandra chinensis?, Natural size, S P.I. No. 40025. 
"Clusters of ripe fruits, growing on a slender, woody 
vine found between tall scrub on shady places. The car- 
mine-red berries are of the size of currants and possess 
a sub-acid, spicy, aromatic taste but the last somewhat too 
pronounced to make it readily acceptable to the majority 
of people. The Chinese are very fond of it and claim it 
has medicinal virtues, being a blood-purif er . The plant 
deserves to be experimented with as an ornamental cover- 
vine on shady places. Chinese name "Wu wei tzu;" meaning 
"fruit of five tastes." Photograph taken at Paoki , Shensi, 
China, Sept. 12, 1914, by Frank N. Meyer.
