Narrative
Full name as recorded at the U.S. National Arboretum: Lagerstroemia indica (undetermined cultivar). Two old, identical plants growing west of the gazebo below Azalea Road; like NA 85661 well to the east, these were probably here since around 1959 (85661 were labeled "CM" on the old map #2 in old bed CC; these have not been found labeled similarly), and are almost certainly L. indica. They are most probably from one of the accessions moved from old nursery plot 3, which in turn are most likely NA 47-51, received from USPIS Glenn Dale in 1938. The numbers on the old nursery 3 inventory card cannot be referenced elsewhere, but are probably either Bell or Chico numbers (the Bell card for those numbers does not seem to exist now). Those plants were listed as Lagerstroemia 20418 (White Byers, originally 21 plants); 20419 (Epinal pink to rosaline purple, originally 8 plants); 20420 (Rose-Mulford, originally with 31 plants in one row and 17 [13?] plants in another), and 20423 (no description, originally with 27 plants). Based on their descriptions, these two plants probably do not belong to 20418, but the corresponding NA numbers for the nursery plot 3 plants were not recorded.
