Editorial Note

Bean discussed this species beneath his account of Schisandra rubriflora (Bean 1981). We have moved Bean’s text, unaltered, into its own article pending a full revision of the genus. If you would like to sponsor a revision of Schisandra please contact the editors.

S. rubriflora is perhaps no more than a geographical variant of this species, described in 1824, which ranges from the central Himalaya into China. Chiefly it differs from R. rubriflora in its white or sometimes light pink flowers.
