Narrative
Full name as recorded at U.S. National Arboretum: Boehmeria nipononivea 'Nichirin'. A previously unrecorded division of this cultivar planted near the "pagoda" in China Valley that could have been separated from either NA 76437 or 77378, or a combination of both; these were obtained from the same source one year apart, in 2007 and 2008, respectively. The received date could be no later than 2008, so that has been used for this record as a close estimate. -SBL
