We know it mainly as Glicinia, but there are also those who call it by its botanical name wisteria. The origin of this name is that it is dedicated to Caspar Wistar (1761-1818), who was Professor of Anatomy at the University of Pennsylvania.
In some areas it is also known as wisteria and feather flower.
Its translations
English: wisteria, Chinese wisteria
Français: glycine, glycine de Chine
Be careful! I am toxic.
As we mentioned above, the pod and seeds are poisonous if ingested. They contain wisterin which causes nausea, vomiting, stomach pains and diarrhea in adults, and even death in children and pets.
