Narrative
Full name as recorded at U.S. National Arboretum: Buxus riparia. The USNA SSR DNA study grouped this with an assemblage consisting primarily of all wild-collected Japanese material, all tetraploids, as well as the dwarfs in the 'Tide Hill' group (also tetraploids). These correspond with accessions that were previously (mis)labeled as Buxus microphylla, Buxus microphylla var. japonica, and Buxus sinica var. insularis. It appears that western horticulturists and botanists have been confused about the identity of this taxon for a very long time. This may be derived from or identical to material originally collected from the wild and accessioned here as NA 21861. -SBL
