Narrative
Full name as recorded at U.S. National Arboretum: Buxus koreana (seedling selection). This plant appears to have been relocated from the center Holly Nursery around 1995; it was located in row 21C (near a group of Taxus and Cephalotaxus) and was listed on the inventory as "Buxus macrophylla [sic] (sdlg sd. spd. habit, seed Miller)"; it was apparently a seedling with spreading habit, received from seed given to Eisenbeiss by Carl Ferris Miller (Chollipo Arboretum) who was also the source of a number of numbered Ilex selections in the old nursery attributed to "Miller" on the Eisenbeiss inventories. The plant was 2 feet in height and 5 feet in spread at the time of the nursery renovation, and was slated to be transplanted to the Boxwood Collection according to a printed action spreadsheet from that time. The results of the USNA SSR analysis confirmed that it belongs in Buxus koreana (syn. B. sinica var. insularis), and it is all but certain that this would have been collected either from the wild or cultivation in Korea. -SBL
