The Asiatic species were not introduced until much later, the Chinese Wisteria first blooming in Britain in 1819, three years after its arrival from Guangzhou. Once it was found to be hardy out of doors it rapidly became popular, arousing the admiration of all who saw it., and soon found its way to the rest of the temperate world. The white form arrived in the middle of the century and the Japanese wisterias followed some years later. This is a detailed and informative guide to the genus.* A FINE copy of the 1st. Edn. 1st.
