Narrative
Full name as recorded at the U.S. National Arboretum: Aesculus assamica. Received as Aesculus wangii. Material from Daniel Hinkley's Vietnam collection, presumably grown from seeds collected from a now-mature plant of direct wild origin in Hinkley's garden, Windcliff, being sold there under field collection number DJHV 10039. It is not clear from the information available whether any hybridization could have occurred at Windcliff. From Hinkley's locally available catalog listing (in 2025): "Exceptional in both rarity and ornament, this horse chesnut from northern Vietneam presents a lovely globe-shaped habit of growth to 35ft, clad with deciduous, finely textured palmate foliage and, in due time, erect racemes of white flowers pollinated by swallowtails, resulting in amazingly large conkers, the size of a childs head. Sun."
