Wisteria
''Wisteria'' (also spelled ''Wistaria'' or ''Wysteria'') is a genus of flowering plants in the pea family, Fabaceae, that includes ten species of woody climbing bines native to the Eastern United States and to China, Korea, and Japan. Some species are popular ornamental plants. An aquatic flowering plant with the common name wisteria or 'water wisteria' is in fact ''Hygrophila difformis'', in the family Acanthaceae.
==Taxonomy==
The botanist Thomas Nuttall said he named the genus ''Wisteria'' in memory of Dr. Caspar Wistar (1761–1818).〔Ohio State University, (Wisteria ). Accessed 2009.06.02.〕 Questioned about the spelling later, Nuttall said it was for "euphony," but his biographer speculated that it may have something to do with Nuttall's friend Charles Jones Wister, Sr., of Grumblethorpe, the grandson of the merchant John Wister. (Some Philadelphia sources state that the plant is named after Wister.)〔Cotter, John L. Daniel Roberts, Michael Parrington. ''The Buried Past: An Archaeological History of Philadelphia'' (Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 1994), 339. Edwin C. Jellett ''Germantown Old and New: Its Rare and Notable Plants'', Germantown, PA: Germantown Independent Gazette 1904, 83.〕 As the spelling is apparently deliberate, there is no justification for changing the genus name under the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature. However, some spell the plant's common name "wistaria", and Fowler is decisively for the "wistaria" spelling.
Genetic analysis shows ''Callerya'', ''Afgekia'' and ''Wisteria'' to be each other's closest relatives and quite distinct from other members of the tribe Millettieae. Both have eight chromosomes.
