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.

Very near to S. grandiflora but recognised as a distinct species by A.C. Smith in his monograph. It differs in its always flesh-pink flowers (commonly white in S. grandiflora) on shorter pedicels and the male flowers with fewer stamens. From R. rubriflora it is obviously distinct in the colour of its flowers. Introduced by Wilson from W. Hupeh, China, first for Messrs Veitch, later, in 1907, for the Arnold Arboretum (W. 318, as S. grandiflora).
