''Schisandra'' (magnolia vine) is a genus of twining shrub that generally climb on other vegetation. Some early publications misspell the name as ''"Schizandra,"'' but ''"Schisandra"'' is correct. Various authors have included the plants in the Illiciaceae 〔Hutchinson, J. 1973. The Families of Flowering Plants, ed. 3. Oxford. Pp. 161-162. Smith, A. C. 1947. The families Illiciaceae and Schisandraceae. Sargentia 7: 1-224.〕
''Schisandra'' is native to Asia and North America, with a center of diversity in China.〔〔(Flora of North America vol 3 )〕〔(Flora of China Vol. 7 Page 41 五味子属 wu wei zi shu ''Schisandra'' Michaux, Fl. Bor.-Amer. 2: 218. 1803. )〕

== Description ==
''Schisandra'' is native to East Asia, and its dried fruit is sometimes used medicinally. The berries of ''S. chinensis'' are given the name ''wu wei zi'' in Chinese (五味子; pinyin: wǔ wèi zi), which translates as "five flavor fruit" because they possess all five basic flavors in Chinese herbal medicine: salty, sweet, sour, pungent (spicy), and bitter. In traditional Chinese medicine it is used as a remedy for many ailments: to resist infections, increase skin health, and combat insomnia, coughing, and thirst.〔Panossian A., Wikman G.
