Narrative
This area is the jewel of Macedonia, and Lake Ohrid is one of the oldest lakes in the world. Boxwood exploration here was fruitful, as we made seven collections, including a 12' tall, 5' wide pyramidal form in the mountainous forest, and, lower down on a[n] exposed rocky slope, a much shorter plant whose numerous branches were vertical, imparting an appearance of multiple candles. Frierson, in Box. Soc. Bull. 47(4): Apr. 2008, p. 40. This collection is photographed on the same page with the caption, "This boxwood growing in an open degraded hillside had upright branches (MK-29)" and is presumed to be the same plant described as having vertical growth in the article. -SBL
