Narrative
Full name as recorded at U.S. National Arboretum: Buxus microphylla 'Compacta' KINGSVILLE DWARF. x 8/4/71 HH to HTS. For letter 12/13/71 H. T. Skinner to B. L. Wagenknecht, see NA 29692 dated 8/31/67. Text from the latter correspondence: "2. 'Kingsville buxifolia' - On advice of Henry Hohman, this has been used by "others" for his _B. microphylla_ 'Compacta'. It should perhaps be listed as a synonym." [USNA SSR data appears to show this accession (based on 4899-J) is not genetically identical to NA 29806 (based on 269806-P), which came directly from Kingsville Nursery. If the history is correct, then either the cultivar is not genetically uniform, or one of the two is not correctly identified. -SBL]
