Narrative
From the record of NA 36876 at the U.S. National Arboretum: Received as Cryptomeria japonica 'Birodo'. From the PI book: "399136 to 399160. Cryptomeria japonica (L. f.) D. Don Pinaceae. Common cryptomeria. From Japan. Plants presented by Aritaki Arboretum, Koshigaya-Shi, Saitama-Ke. Received January 27, 1975. [...] 399137. 'Birodo'. Local name Velvet sugi." Later accession notes: [Cryptomeria japonica 'Kon Sugi' = Velvet Sugi.] [Cryptomeria japonica 'Birodo Sugi' or 'Kon Sugi' per Yinger 1985]. The plant material in the collection at present (2017) matches most descriptions of 'Compressa'; the photograph in the RHS Encyclopedia of Conifers, however, appears to be incorrect (possibly 'Vilmoriniana' misidentified). -SBL
