Zanthoxylum scandens is a species of woody plant in the family Rutaceae. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]
Zanthoxylum scandens is a woody plant, observed as a shrub or woody climber. [1] It has a self-supporting growth form, with individual plants growing up to 24 metres (79 feet). [4] Prickles can be found on its trunks, branches, branchlets, and leaf rachises. [1] Flowers are tetramerous, with a perianth in two series. [1] It sepals have been found as pale purplish green in color, ovate in shape, and about 0.5 millimetres (0.020 inches) in size. [1] Male flowers have four stamens, are about three to four millimeters in size, and have a spot at their apex. [1] Female flowers have three carpels with ligulate staminodes. [1] Fruit follicles have been observed as purplish red in color, but grayish brown to black when dry. [1] Seeds are about four to five millimeters in diameter. [1] The species typically flowers from March to May, and fruits from to July to August. [1]
Zanthoxylum scandens is found in China (southern Anhui, Chongqing, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou, Hainan, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Sichuan, Yunnan, Zhejiang), India, Indonesia, Japan, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, [1] Taiwan and Vietnam. [3]
Its preferred habitats are lowland forests, open forests, and thickets from an elevation at near sea level to 1,500 metres (4,921 feet). [1]
The species was first published in Carl Ludwig von Blume's Bijdragen tot de Flora van Nederlandsch Indie in 1825 [2] and is widely accepted as a valid species. [3]
