akebian.

Brit.

/əˈkiːbɪə/, U.S.

/əˈkibiə/

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin Akebia.

Etymology: < scientific Latin Akebia, genus name (J. Decaisne 1839, in Archives du Muséum d'Histoire Naturelle 1 195, coined in a French context) < Japanese akebi , in the same sense (early 10th cent.; 1603 as aqebi in Vocabulario da Lingoa de Iapam) + scientific Latin -a -a suffix¹ (compare -ia suffix¹).Compare the following earlier attestation of the Japanese name of the plant in an English context:1819 A. Rees Cycl. XXIX. sig. Xx2^v/1 R[aiania] quinata...The Japanese call this plant Fagi Kadsura, and Akebi.

Any of several plants constituting the East Asian genus Akebia (family Lardizabalaceae) of twining shrubs typically having purplish flowers and palmately divided leaves; esp. (more fully five-leaf or five-leaved akebia) any of numerous cultivated varieties of A. quintata, commonly grown for ornament as wall cover, on trellises, pergolas, etc. Also (in form Akebia): the genus itself.

1924 Jrnl. Royal Hort. Soc. 49 150 The shrubs of the middle forest include, besides the rhododendrons..akebia, smilax, and lonicera.

1966 M. Fish Carefree Gardening (1972) 85 The flowers of the akebia never show up very well, being dark chocolate-red.

1985 Homes & Gardens Dec. 98 The façade was further softened by planting espaliered pear trees, the five-leaved akebia (Akebia quinata) and English boxwood.

2004 T. Bost & J. Wilson Carolinas Gardener’s Guide 75/2 Five-leaf akebia may be a viable solution for new home sites. These twining vines ask for so little—just a place to grow.
