Narrative
Full name as recorded at U.S. National Arboretum: Buxus microphylla. The name long used for this accession, "Buxus sempervirens /B.M. Recondlost/", was created by mistaken interpretation of the name that accompanied it from its prior source; "B.M. Recondlost" was a mistake for "B. m. record lost" was almost certainly meant as a shorthand for a Buxus microphylla with a lost record. The lone accession to which this name was applied does match Buxus microphylla var. japonica, morphologically; it also grouped with that species in molecular testing using SSR markers (more specifically with 'Morris Dwarf'), and it was shown to be triploid using flow cytometry. -SBL. All eight accessions [plants?] were monitored in a 2002 leafminer study conducted by the U of MD, Dept. of Entomology, Dr. Raupp. [The USNA Boxwood SSR study placed this in a group of B. microphylla (probably var. microphylla) accessions, and it clustered most closely with NA 7027, 'Morris Dwarf'. Since these two accessions are very different in habit, it is possible that one sported from the other and they are almost identical, genetically. -SBL]
