Celastrus

/səˈlæstrəs/ noun

Definition

A genus of climbing woody vines and shrubs known for their colorful berries, including staff vine and bittersweet species.

Etymology

From ancient Greek 'kelastron,' a name applied to various tree and vine species, though the exact original plant is uncertain.

Kelly Says

Oriental bittersweet (Celastrus orbiculatus) has invaded North America so thoroughly that it's now strangling native forests—a invasive species story told by one plant's success.
