This is closely allied to S. henryi. It has not the angled young shoots of that species and the leaves are shorter stalked, more glaucous beneath, more tapered at the base and of thinner texture. Flowers orange-red; fruit scarlet. A deciduous climber growing 20 ft high which flowers in May and June. Introduced from Central China by Wilson in 1907. Another species of the same group is S. pubescens.
