Narrative
Full name as recorded at U.S. National Arboretum: Torreya grandis var. grandis. Torreya grandis 'Merrillii' is a cultivar (reportedly dating back to the Tang Dynasty in China) that is propagated vegetatively; this clone originated as seed collected from Torreya grandis 'Merrillii', so it should not be treated as that cultivar by default. According to Arnold Arboretum records for their accession 1087-89, it was collected by Peter Del Tredici as seed (source not given) from Torreya grandis 'Merrillii' on 10/7/1989. According to Wikipedia, Del Tredici was traveling in eastern China in the fall of 1989 while doing research for his doctoral thesis on Ginkgo biloba for Boston University, and it is likely that he collected this seed while he was there. -SBL
