Wisteria is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae (Leguminosae).

They were later introduced to France, Germany and various other countries in Europe. Some species are popular ornamental plants.

Examples include the French glycines, the German Glyzinie, and the Polish glicynia.
