Narrative
Full name as recorded at U.S. National Arboretum: Buxus koreana. Apparent second-generation seedling from population of 100 seedlings raised by Missouri Botanical Garden from a seed shipment they received from China in 1921. Correspondence on file: x 1/6/72 Mary A. Gamble to P. E. Mihan: "I would also like, for my own information, to send you a cutting of a plant we are sure was grown from seed obtained from the Sun-Yat Sen Memorial Garden in Nanking, China. It looks totally unlike the 'japonica' that you wrote Dr. Baldwin thinks is 'sinica'. The plants growing rankly and almost wild at Gray Summit are B. m. 'sinica' according to Mr. Barbre and Mr. Bagby. We have tried cuttings and they have not rooted well. We also have seedlings out at Gray Summit. Would you like to see one?"; x 3/21/72 Mary A. Gamble to P. E. Mihan: "We are now convinced that the B. m. sinica plants were grown from seed sent from China but in 1921, not in 1948. There was a seed shipment from the Sun-Yat Sen Garden in the latter year but no record of plants reaching the arboretum from the Garden where they were propagated. Several thousand seedlings from the 1921 shipment were grown, then rogued down to about 100. These were set out at Gray Summit and we saw the survivors last week. They were blooming like mad and smelled like honeysuckle; bees were thick about them. They were a lively bright green, quite light in tone; they were rather sparse of foliage and not particularly handsome, but quite interesting. They look completely unlike Dr. Baldwin's sinica seedling, for example. Seedlings of all sizes are around the group of parent plants; they appear prolific. We are moving two of the mature plants to the Anderson Garden."; x 4/20/72 Skip G. March to Mary A. Gamble, Boxwood Nursery Report. [The first test used in the USNA SSR molecular study placed this with B. microphylla, raising further questions about its origins. However, the second test grouped it with B. sinica var. insularis; this difference was missed initially, and further study of this material is recommended in order to make the ID more certain. However, it does not appear typical of B. microphylla, so there may be something to the study results. -SBL]
