			Kadsura (Japanese name). Magnoliaceae. Tropical Asian woody climbers. Kadsuras have leathery or rarely membranous foliage: fls. axillary, solitary, whitish or rosy, unisexual; sepals and petals 9-15, gradually changing from the outermost and smallest to the innermost and petaloid; staminate fls. with an indefinite number of stamens, which are separate or coalesced into a globe: carpels indefinite in number, 2-3-ovuled: mature berries in globular heads.—About 8 species, of one of which Charles S. Sargent writes (G.F. 6:75): "The flowers are not at all showy, but it is a plant of extraordinary beauty in the autumn when the clusters of scarlet fruit are ripe, their brilliancy being heightened by contrast with the dark green, lustrous, persistent leaves. ... It might well be grown wherever the climate is sufficiently mild, as in the autumn no plant is more beautiful."

'''Schisandraceae''' is the [[botanical name]] of a family of [[flowering plants]]. Such a family has been recognized by most taxonomists, at least for the past several decades. Before that, the plants concerned were assigned to family [[Magnoliaceae]].

The [[APG II system]], of 2003, also recognizes such a family. It places the family in order [[Austrobaileyales]], which in turn is accepted as being among the most basic lineages in the clade '''[[angiosperms]]'''. APG II assumes this to be a family of three genera, Schisandraceae sensu lato. This family consists of woody plants, containing [[essential oil]]s.

However, APG II does allow the option of segregating the genus ''[[Illicium]]'' as the family [[Illiciaceae]]. This leaves only two genera in this family, Schisandraceae sensu stricto. This consists of ''[[Schisandra]]'' and ''[[Kadsura]]'', totalling several dozen species, found in tropical to temperate regions of [[East Asia|East]] and [[Southeast Asia]] and the [[Caribbean]].

The latter option, of two separate families, actually is the position taken by all the other recent [[list of systems of plant taxonomy|systems of plant taxonomy]].

<hr>

The [[APG system]], of 1998, recognized both the families Schisandraceae sensu stricto and Illiciaceae, unplaced as to order. It regarded both families as being among the most basic lineages in the clade '''[[angiosperms]]'''.

<hr>

The [[Cronquist system]], of 1981, treated the plants in the family (in its wider sense) as two separate families, which together constituted
: the order [[Illiciales]],
:: in subclass [[Magnoliidae]],
::: in class [[Magnoliopsida]] [=[[dicotyledons]]],
:::: of division [[Magnoliophyta]] [=[[angiosperms]]].

<hr>

The [[Thorne system (1992)]] treated the plants in the family (in its wider sense) as two separate families, which were assigned
: to the order [[Magnoliales]],
:: in superorder [[Magnolianae]],
::: in subclass Magnoliideae [=dicotyledons],
:::: in class Magnoliopsida [=angiosperms].

<hr>

The [[Dahlgren system]] treated the plants in the family (in its wider sense) as two separate families, which together constituted
: the order Illiciales,
:: in superorder Magnolianae,
::: in subclass Magnoliideae [=dicotyledons],
:::: in class Magnoliopsida [=angiosperms].

<hr>

The [[Engler system]], in the update of 1964, treated the plants in the family (in its wider sense) as two separate families, which were assigned
: to the order Magnoliales, which was placed
:: in subclass Archychlamydeae,
::: in class Dicotyledoneae,
:::: in subdivision Angiospermae
