Lardizabala

Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture

Lardizabala (after the Spanish naturalist Lardizabal y Uribe). Lardizabalaceae. Two shrubby evergreen climbers in Chile with once-to thrice-ternate leaves: flowers dioecious, purple-brown; sepals 6. and 6 petaloid nectaries, sometimes called petals; the staminate flowers in pendulous racemes, with 6 connate stamens; the pistillate ones solitary, with 6 distinct sterile stamens and 3 cylindric ovaries, developing into oblong, many-seeded berries. The pulpy edible fruit is sold in the Chilean markets and cordage is made of the fibrous stems. Only the following species, which is similar to the well-known Akebia quinata but has short-stalked pointed leaflets in 3's, is cultered in S. Calif, for its handsome foliage and the odd-looking dark-colored flowers; it is readily propagated by cuttings of half-ripened wood under glass. L. biternata, Ruiz & Pav. Leaves twice ternate or on the flowering branchlets usually simply ternate; leaflets leathery; ovate, acute or mucronate, entire or with 1 or 2 almost spiny teeth, dark green and glossy above, paler and reticulate beneath, 2—4 in. long: staminate flowers about 1 in. across, purple- brown; in a dense, about 15-flowered drooping raceme; the petaloid nectaries lanceolate, white, the pistillate flowers slightly larger, solitary, slender-stalked: fruit oblong, 2-3 in.long. Winter or spring. The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
