Chinese Wisteria Wisteria Sinensis Photo by Wendy VanDyk Evans, Bugwood.org CHINESE WISTERIA WISTERIA SINENSIS Chinese wisteria, Wisteria sinensis, is a long-lived woody vine that has been planted in North America as an ornamental. Although the blossoms are pretty and have a sweet smell, this vine is invasive and kills trees by girdling them. It can tolerate shade, but needs at least partial sun to flower. Identification Wisteria produces blue or violet dangling racemes of flowers early in the spring as foliage emerges. Foliage occurs alternately on the vine, each leaf compound with seven to 13 leaflets. The vine is woody. How it spreads Wisteria forms long vines that wind counterclockwise around tree trunks to move up into the canopy. Wisteria can also form runners along the ground surface. Seeds can be moved with flowing water to colonize downstream from an initial infestation. Managing wisteria Do not plant wisteria. Cut back vines as soon as they leaf out in the spring and continue doing so until the roots are depleted and are no longer able to produce vines or foliage. Application of herbicides such as triclopyr and glyphosate directly to cut tissue is also Chinese wisteria produces blue or violet dangling racemes of flowers early in the spring. very effective.

    Taiwania, 48(2): 118-128, 2003 Two New Members of the Callerya Group (Fabaceae) Based on Phylogenetic Analysis of rbcL Sequences: Endosamara racemosa (Roxb.) Geesink and Callerya vasta (Kosterm.) Schot (1,3) (1,2) Jer-Ming Hu and Shih-Pai Chang (Manuscript received 2 May, 2003; accepted 29 May, 2003) ABSTRACT: Two new members of Callerya group in Fabaceae, Endosamara racemosa (Roxb.) Geesink and Callerya vasta (Kosterm.) Schot, are identified based on phylogenetic analyses of chloroplast rbcL sequences. These taxa joined with other previously identified taxa in the Callerya group: Afgekia, Callerya, and Wisteria. These genera are resolved as a basal subclade in the Inverted Repeat Lacking Clade (IRLC), which is a large legume group that includes many temperate and herbaceous legumes in the subfamily Papilionoideae, such as Astragalus, Medicago and Pisum, and is not close to other Millettieae. Endosamara is sister to Millettia japonica (Siebold & Zucc.) A. Gray, but only weakly linked with Wisteria and Afgekia. KEY WORDS: Endosamara, Callerya, Millettieae, Millettia, rbcL, Phylogenetic analysis. INTRODUCTION Recent molecular phylogenetic studies of the tribe Millettieae have revealed that the tribe is polyphyletic and several taxa are needed to be segregated from the core Millettieae group. One of the major segregates from Millettieae is the Callerya group, comprising species from Callerya, Wisteria, Afgekia, and Millettia japonica (Siebold & Zucc.) A. Gray. The group is considered to be part of the Inverted-Repeat-Lacking Clade (IRLC; Wojciechowski et al., 1999) including many temperate herbaceous legumes. Such result is consistent and supported by chloroplast inverted repeat surveys (Lavin et al., 1990; Liston, 1995) and phylogenetic studies of the phytochrome gene family (Lavin et al., 1998), chloroplast rbcL (Doyle et al., 1997; Kajita et al., 2001), trnK/matK (Hu et al., 2000), and nuclear ribosomal ITS regions (Hu et al., 2002).

W OJCIECHOWSKI,3 and MICHAEL J. SANDERSON4 1Department of Botany, National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan; 2Department of Plant Sciences, Montana State University, Bozeman, Montana 59717; 3Department of Plant Biology, Arizona State University, Tempe, Arizona 85287; 4Section of Evolution and Ecology, University of California, Davis, California 95616 5Author for correspondence ([email protected]) Communicating Editor: Jerrold I. Davis ABSTRACT. The taxonomic composition of three principal and distantly related groups of the former tribe Millettieae, which were ®rst identi®ed from nuclear phytochrome and chloroplast trnK/matK sequences, was more extensively investi- gated with a phylogenetic analysis of nuclear ribosomal DNA ITS/5.8S sequences. The ®rst of these groups includes the neotropical genera Poecilanthe and Cyclolobium, which are resolved as basal lineages in a clade that otherwise includes the neotropical genera Brongniartia and Harpalyce and the Australian Templetonia and Hovea. The second group includes the large millettioid genera, Millettia, Lonchocarpus, Derris,andTephrosia, which are referred to as the ``core Millettieae'' group. Phy- logenetic analysis of nuclear ribosomal DNA ITS/5.8S sequences reveals that Millettia is polyphyletic, and that subclades of the core Millettieae group, such as the New World Lonchocarpus or the pantropical Tephrosia and segregate genera (e.g., Chadsia and Mundulea), each form well supported monophyletic subgroups.

  • Plant Native and Avoid Invasives 1-13-19
    Plant Native and Avoid Invasives By Susan Camp My friend Cathy, who lives in eastern North Carolina, recently shared a photo of a huge, lushly beautiful Japanese wisteria (Wisteria floribunda) tree, the ground around it covered in lavender blossoms. You could almost smell the sweet fragrance. Cathy said she wishes she could have wisteria at her new house, as she had in Virginia, but since wisteria is non-native and invasive she won’t plant another one. I have good news for Cathy. A native wisteria (also spelled wistaria) exists: American or Atlantic wisteria (Wisteria frutescens). Unlike Japanese and Chinese wisteria (Wisteria sinensis), the American species is much less aggressive, although vines can grow to 15 to 40 feet in length. American wisteria will need regular pruning to maintain an attractive shape and control its size, but it will not consume your trees, pergola, or garage. American wisteria is a woody, deciduous, counterclockwise-twining vine, found in swampy woods and along stream banks in the southeastern United States from Virginia, south to Florida and west to Illinois and Texas. Kentucky wisteria (Wisteria frutescens var. macrostachya), a distinctive variety with more intense fragrance than American wisteria, also grows throughout the southeast. It may be classified as a separate species, depending on the source. Wisteria species perform well in USDA Hardiness Zones 5 to 9. They prefer well-drained, moist, acidic, moderately fertile soil in full sun to light shade. Flowering may decrease if grown in shaded areas. Unfortunately, wisterias don’t like to be transplanted, so consider the size and amount of greenery surrounding the spot you choose for planting to ensure they will get plenty of sunlight for years to come.

It tolerates shade and a variety of soil types. In riparian areas, it spreads downstream as seeds float to new locations. Most infestations of natural habitats are escaped landscape plantings. Wisteria sinensis remains a popular ornamental in the nursery trade. view this species on IUCN Red List Species Description According to Martin (2002), Wisteria sinensis is a perennial vine that can live for 50 years or more and grows up to 38cm in diameter. The leaves are alternate and pinnately compound. They grow up to 30cm long and consist of 7-13 leaflets. The fragrant flowers are 1.27-2.5cm long and hang in clusters that sometimes exceed 40cm in length. Flowers are usually blue-violet, but other cultivars (which may be escaped plants) are white, purple, pink, and lavender. Flowers are usually produced from April to May (in the North American region). Seedpods are 10-15cm long, hairy, and brown; they are narrow at the base and have constrictions between the seeds.

  • Invasive Species in the Historic Dumbarton Oaks Garden
    Invasive Species in the Historic Garden: A Field Guide to Dumbarton Oaks Dumbarton Oaks Internship Report Joan Chen Summer intern ‘18, Garden & Landscape Studies Master of Landscape Architecture ‘19, Harvard GSD August 3, 2018 This report provides a brief overview of Beatrix Farrand’s use of plant species that are currently considered “invasive” and outlines management strategies. Farrand’s Plant Book for Dumbarton Oaks, written in 1941 and published by Dumbarton Oaks in 1980, is the main text referenced by this report. The Garden Archives at Dumbarton Oaks, as well as conversations with gardeners, also shaped this study. Two case studies explore how invasive species management might be approached in a historic garden. A spreadsheet with each mention of an invasive plant in Farrand’s Plant Book and its associated management strategies is included in the Appendix, providing a working document for Garden and Grounds staff. The Appendix also contains a brief reading list with titles on garden history, the native/non-native/invasive plant debate, and various plant lists and technical references, as well as a printable pamphlet with information on the six most used invasive plants at Dumbarton Oaks. Overview When Beatrix Farrand described plant growth as invasive, the term “invasive species” had not yet come into use. Her 1941 plant book includes two uses of the word “invasive” while describing maintenance of fast-spreading plants: At the little porter’s lodge, Ivy and Wisteria are used on the building itself, but here again they must not be allowed to become so invasive that the lodge is turned into a green mound.
