Narrative
Note associated with NA 21861 growing at the U.S. National Arboretum (as Buxus riparia): From PI book: "274867 to 274876. From Japan. Plant material collected by J. L. Creech, agricultural explorer, Crops Research Division, Plant Industry Station, Beltsville, Md. For U.S.D.A.-Longwood Cooperative Program. Received May 23, 1961. [...] 274869. Buxus sp. Buxaceae. Col. No. 882. Mount Kosho, central Kyushu. Elevation 2,800 feet. Tree to 10 feet high; leaves small, ovate, dark green, shiny." 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. -SBL
