Narrative

Full name as recorded at U.S. National Arboretum: Thuja occidentalis 'Lutea Nana'. This cultivar now has many different (incorrect) name variants and spelling variants of those variants; its primary synonyms at present are 'Sudworth Gold' and 'Sudworth', with some listing it as 'Pumila Sudworth', although some sources indicate (probably in error) that 'Pumila Sudworth'/'Pumila Sudworthii' is a separate, globose-shaped dwarf from 'Sudworth Gold'/'Sudworth'. This latter interpretation may have arisen from very young plants of 'Lutea Nana' that had not yet developed a typically pyramidal habit. The names probably originated in confusion following a misreading of USDA Miscellaneous Circular 92 by George B. Sudworth, "Check List of the Forest Trees of the United States: Their Names and Ranges" in which he listed Thuja occidentalis lutea humils Sudworth, citing his own earlier work. In USDA Bulletin No. 14, Nomenclature of the Arboresecent Flora of the United States, Sudworth published the following: "Thuja occidentalis lutea humilis nom. nov. Syn.--_Thuya occidentalis lutea nana_ Hort. ex Beissner, Handb. Nadelh., 41 (1891), not _Th. Sphaer. nana_ Hort. ex Gord. (1858), nor _Th. occid. recurva nana_ Hort. ex Carr. (1867)." Sudworth faild to cite Veitch's 1881 publication of Thuja occidentalis lutea nana, which is the basis for today's valid cultivar name 'Lutea Nana'. Material was apparently identified with this clone but probably was labeled 'Humilis Sudworth', dropping the word "Lutea" and adding the author citation "Sudworth" in error, and then became 'Pumila Sudworth', 'Pumila Sudworthii', and even(!) 'Pumila Sandwelli' as in our original record for NA 35045. This accession seems to match 'Lutea Nana' perfectly, and Laurence Hatch (who is credited with the name 'Sudworth Gold' by Welch [1993]) identified this accession as being identical to his 'Sudworth' ('Sudworth Gold'). -SBL 2017-12-19. This accession's card states that the material arrived grafted, but this is probably an error.
