International registration of cultivar names for

Kalmia L. 2007–2009
J. WESTHOFF
European Kalmia Society, Friedhofstr. 51, 28213 Bremen, Germany¹
For many years, the main development in the hybridisation and

cultivation of kalmias took place almost exclusively in the United
States, and was closely connected to Dr Richard A. Jaynes, who
became the International Cultivar Registrar in 1978. When he
resigned after nearly 20 years, it was difficult to find a successor in
the United States, the native country of Kalmia. Meanwhile in Europe
Dr Karl-Heinz Hübbers started to hybridise kalmias and a small group
of enthusiasts centred around him founded the European Kalmia
Society to make these plants more popular on this side of the world.
In 2007 the European Kalmia Society was asked to fill the gap and
assume the function of provisional ICRA. The last published checklist
(Jaynes, 1997) documents about 60 cultivars that had been
registered. During the last three years, 26 more Kalmia cultivar
names have been registered. These are listed below. The following
abbreviations have been used:
R raiser; H hybridiser; G grown to first flowering by; S selected by;

N named by; I introducer; REG registrant; L listed by.
The seed parent is given first; o.p. = open pollinated.
Kalmia angustifolia ‘Compacta’

Synonym of Kalmia angustifolia ‘Gnom’. It was published under this
name 1988/89 in the Hachmann nursery price list.
Kalmia angustifolia ‘Gnom’

S: Karl-Heinz Schurig (1958); N: Hans Hachmann (1990); I: Baumschule
Schurig (1960); REG: Holger Hachmann (2008). Synonym: ‘Compacta’.

4 J. WESTHOFF
Habit: very compact and dense. Flowers: light purple pink. Leaves:
broader than the species and with a lighter green colour.
Comments: the original plant was selected by Karl-Heinz Schurig

from Kalmia angustifolia seedlings that he obtained when he took
over the nursery from Mr Falke in 1958. First description was
published in the Hachmann Nursery 1990 price list. An official
description with colour illustration was published in the Hachmann
Nursery catalogue 1992–1993.

Because the flower colour of this selection is a stronger purplish pink
than the other plants that are known as K. angustifolia ‘Rubra’, it was
named ‘Purpurflor’. It was first published in the 1979 price list from
Hachmann Nursery. An official description with a colour illustration
was published in the Hachmann Nursery catalogue 1988.

Syringa afghanica and S. pinetorum: a misidentification

alert¹
F. VRUGTMAN
Curator Emeritus, Royal Botanical Gardens, PO Box 399, Hamilton,
Ontario, Canada L8N 3H8
Material under two different lilac species names is being grown in

gardens but both names are not correctly applied to the plants in
cultivation. The following note draws attention to the confusion.
Those who come across these misidentified plants are asked not just
to update the label and the record, but if the records show the origin
of the plant, to contact the people who supplied you with it to alert
them to the problem. This should help to remove an erroneous
name from collections and commercial nurseries, and perhaps before
the real Syringa afghanica and S. pinetorum enter our gardens.
Syringa afghanica C.K. Schneid.

To our, albeit limited, knowledge true-to-name Syringa afghanica has
not yet been introduced to cultivation, either in Europe or in North
America. Plants in cultivation under the name S. afghanica mostly
turn out to be S. × laciniata Mill. Pringle (1978) published a detailed
review of the literature on S. afghanica and the sources of the
existing confusion. Alas, thirty years later the confusion still exists.
Schneider (1903) described and named Syringa afghanica, basing his

description on herbarium specimens collected in Afghanistan in
1870 by James Aitchison.
A good description of Syringa afghanica appears in the current online

version of the Flora of Pakistan, namely:
¹ Contribution No. 188, Royal Botanical Gardens, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada

14 F. VRUGTMAN
Shrub with spreading, lenticellate branches. Leaves entire, 1–3cm

long, 2–8mm broad (on fertile branches), lanceolate to narrowly
oval, almost sessile. Inflorescence dense, of almost capitate
appearance at the ends of branchlets, the leafless panicles arising
from subterminal (terminal) and uppermost lateral buds only. Calyx
1–2mm long, more or less distinctly 4-toothed. Corolla lilac, tube
cylindric, 8–10mm long, lobes c. half the length, oval. Capsule ovoid
to cylindric, c. 1cm long, 4mm in diameter, slightly bent, acuminate,
opening into 2 halves.
The most significant statement here is that the leaves of Syringa

afghanica are entire. The foliage of S. × laciniata and that of one of
its parents, S. protolaciniata, is 3- to 9-parted to -divided or entire,
and S. × persica may have the occasional lobed or laciniate leaf. It is
these three taxa that may turn up under the label of Syringa
afghanica; therefore the leaf-shape is the key characteristic in
spotting the misidentifications. Additional sources of confusion are
the common names applied to S. protolaciniata and its cultivar
‘Kabul’; both are occasionally listed as Afghan lilac or Afghanistan lilac.
When searching the Internet for the name Syringa afghanica

hundreds of web pages turn up. Many of these pages are
accompanied by photographs or descriptions which show or
describe deeply lobed foliage. To the careful observer it immediately
becomes clear that we are dealing with misidentifications. True-to-
name Syringa afghanica does not have any lobate or parted leaves.
Syringa pinetorum W.W. Sm.

McKelvey (1928) indicated that Syringa pinetorum had not yet been
introduced to cultivation; Fiala (1988) repeated it; Pringle (1990)
confirmed it; and Green (1995) stated it once more. They also
explained why there are still plants in collections and nurseries
growing under the name of Syringa pinetorum. In 1914 George
Forrest made the type collection in the Lichiang Range in Yunnan of
what was described as the new species Syringa pinetorum (Smith,
SYRINGA AFGHANICA AND S. PINETORUM 15
1916). Seed under this name, collected by Forrest was subsequently

distributed from the Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh. From the
accessions records of the Arnold Arboretum (M. Dosmann, pers.
comm.), seed originally under the name S. pinetorum was received
there in early 1923 and again in 1924. Both accessions were
redetermined as Syringa yunnanensis Franch. Since the original
collection in 1914 was made when the lilac was in flower, it seems
likely that no seed was collected then. Later collections under the
name S. pinetorum must have been made during Forrest’s 1921–22
expedition and would have been distributed in 1923/4.
Unfortunately no collection numbers have been traced so it cannot
be proved that this is the source of the confusion. Some collection
curators recognised the error and updated their records accordingly;
some realised they had S. yunnanensis, others were puzzled, or
careful, changing the label to Syringa sp., or “unknown lilac”, but
some gardens and commercial nurseries perpetuated the error by
distributing plants under the erroneous name.
Below is the description of Syringa yunnanensis, which may be of

help in determining what one has, or does not have, under the
name of Syringa pinetorum.
Syringa yunnanensis
Shrubs 2–5m. Branchlets terete or slightly four-angled, usually
glabrous. Petiole 0.5–2cm, glabrous; leaf blade elliptic, elliptic-
lanceolate, to oblanceolate, 2–8(–13) × 1–3.5(–5.5)cm, glabrous or
abaxially rarely pubescent along veins, base cuneate or rarely
subrounded, apex acute or short acuminate. Panicles erect, terminal,
5–18 × 3–12cm; rachis and pedicel puberulent or rarely lanose.
Pedicel 0.5–1.5mm. Calyx 1–2.5mm, glabrous or rarely lanose. Corolla
white to lilac-red, 0.7–1.2(–1.7)cm; tube funnelform, 5–8(–13)mm;
lobes oblong, spreading. Anthers yellow, usually inserted up to 2mm
from mouth of corolla tube. Capsule oblong, 1.2–1.7cm, slightly
lenticellate. Flowering May to June, fruiting in September. (Chang
& Green, 1996).

This species is clearly distinct from true S. pinetorum as it has a

terminal inflorescence and S. pinetorum has lateral inflorescences.

Notes on two South American Oxalis
J.M.H. SHAW
c/o Botany Department, RHS Garden Wisley
The identity and nomenclature of two cultivated Oxalis from South

America is clarified. Oxalis F&W 10584 is identified as O. arenaria,
and the confusion with O. articulata is discussed. Oxalis squamoso-
radicosa is reduced to synonymy under O. laciniata.
1. Oxalis arenaria
A bulbous Chilean Oxalis with attractive bright pink flowers has been
distributed in cultivation from several Flores & Watson collections as
O. aff. articulata and more recently as F&W 10584, O. ?tortuosa.
Oxalis tortuosa was illustrated and described by Lindley (1829) from
material collected by James McRae near Valparaíso, Chile in October
1825. The resultant plants flowered in the Garden of the
Horticultural Society (as the RHS was then known) in June 1828
producing yellow flowers atop a distinct aerial stem with the leaves
also arising from the apex, like a miniature tree, quite unlike the
plants grown under the label F&W 10584. Flores and Watson
explain in their 2003 Seed List no. 10 that, due to lack of time, the
material was named by eliminating all other Oxalis names from a
checklist of the area, commenting that this is not a reliable method
of identification.
Material of F&W 10584, collected from the coastal region of central

Chile, and grown at Bob Brown’s Cotswold Garden Flowers,
Evesham, has been examined and determined as O. arenaria Bertero,
by reference to Lourteig (2000) and Reiche (1896). This was
confirmed by comparison with herbarium material at Kew and the
London Natural History Museum. It is quite similar in leaf and flower
to O. articulata, which is likely to account for the confusion with that
species. There appears to have been historical confusion of O. arenaria

18 J.M.H. SHAW
with O. articulata (which does not occur naturally in Chile) following

the inclusion of O. arenaria as a synonym under O. articulata in
Reiche (1896: 338) while recognising O. biglandulosa Steudel as
distinct. The latter is treated by Lourteig (2000) as a synonym of
O. arenaria.
While accepting O. articulata and O. arenaria as distinct species,

Lourteig (2000) does not comment on the confusion between the
two. Several modern Chilean Floras which follow Reiche illustrate
O. arenaria as O. articulata, including Hoffmann (1995: 196–197, t.3)
and Navas (1976: 244, t. 34 Q–U).
The easiest way to separate the two is by the underground parts.

O. arenaria produces a bulb which is composed of swollen scale
leaves, while O. articulata has a solid rhizome. The inflorescence of
O. arenaria is fewer flowered. The shape of the glands at the sepal
apex is also different. While it varies from one individual to another,
specimens of O. arenaria often develop a gland with several finger-
like projections radiating downwards from the sepal apex. At least in
cultivated material of O. articulata these sepal glands usually consist
of a pair of single elliptical structures, one on each side of the midrib.
Useful illustrations of O. articulata can be found in Clement, E.J. et
al., 2005: 186, and Curtis’s Botanical Magazine 110: t. 6748 (1884),
while O. arenaria is depicted in Curtis’s Botanical Magazine 101:
t. 6193 (1875).
The natural distribution of O. articulata is centred on the eastern side

of central South America. Various publications treat it as native in the
floras of Brazil, Paraguay (Clifton, 2004), Uruguay (Lourteig, 2000)
and Argentina, where it is recorded from the provinces of Buenos
Aires (where it is particularly abundant), Córdoba, Entre Ríos, La
Pampa, Mendoza, Santa Fe, and Tucumán (Cabrera, 1965; Múlgura,
1999), and in south-eastern Brazil from Rio Grande do Sul (Lourteig,
1983, 2000). A record from San Juan (Argentina) adjacent to the
Chilean border is attributed to introduced cultivated material
NOTES ON TWO SOUTH AMERICAN OXALIS 19
(Lourteig, 2003). Records for Chile are based on cultivated plants,

where it may escape from cultivation as it does elsewhere.
2. Oxalis laciniata and O. squamoso-radicosa

Oxalis laciniata is a frequently grown alpine plant. Cavanilles, who
first described it in 1799, stated that it had “foliis profundissime
laciniatis; laciniis subduodecim, linearibus...lacinias...utraque
extremitate acutas” [“leaves most deeply divided, with about 12
linear divisions, acute at both ends”]. The illustration accompanying
the protologue agrees with this, depicting a leaf with narrow entire
segments, acute and undivided at the apex. However, this
description does not match plants in cultivation, which display leaf
lobes that are marginally undulate with a minutely bifid apex;
characters which do fit O. squamoso-radicosa. The account of Oxalis
in Flora Patagonica (Lourteig, 1988) treats both these taxa as species,
without comment. Clear drawings showing the typical leaf lobes for
each are provided. However, her later monograph (Lourteig, 2000),
while treating both as species, comments under O. squamoso-
radicosa, ”La misma de O. laciniata” [“The same as Oxalis laciniata”].
Examination of herbarium material at Kew and the Natural History

Museum reveals an abundance of plants with marginally undulate
lobes and bifid tips, most of which are determined as O. squamoso-
radicosa, while a few are included as O. laciniata. The specimens
reveal a range of variation from leaves that are crenate and undulate
to those that are almost entire and flat. This variation appears to be
correlated with the degree of exposure to strong sunlight. Plants
with very strongly crenate and undulate margins are from exposed
habitats, while those with almost entire, flat margins were collected
“in the center or leeward side of Verbena bushes.” (M. E. Blake 193,
1933, in sched., K).
A few examples are provided in Table 1.

pubescens red margin, hairy
This led N.Y. Sandwith to annotate one of these sheets, “This seems
to show that O. laciniata and O. squamoso-radicosa are perhaps
habitat forms of a single species.”
Experience with cultivated plants also leads to a similar conclusion.

Erskine (1994) reports cultivating a plant of O. laciniata with
extremely dark flowers that always produced straight linear leaflets
without undulation. “In April 1993 a pan of this clone produced 5
leaves with marked undulation on each leaflet margin, amongst
many leaves without.” He commented, “There must, I think, be
suspicion that this is one variable species.”
Both these Oxalis are geophytes, with a subterranean rhizome

composed of fleshy storage scale leaves, which undergoes a period
of complete dormancy each year. Studies of other geophytes such as
Podophyllum peltatum have revealed that the next season’s growth is
formed in the developing subterranean resting bud just prior to the
onset of dormancy, usually during summer, when the highest
temperatures generally occur (DeMaggio & Wilson, 1986). This
process appears to be sensitive to temperature, which may account
for the variation in leaf shape. Evidently, plants growing in the
NOTES ON TWO SOUTH AMERICAN OXALIS 21
shelter of shrubs would experience lower ground temperatures than

those in full sun. In cultivation, a plant grown for several years in a
small pot is unlikely to experience much temperature variation across
a small container; however, when grown in a larger pan, a more
pronounced thermal gradient is likely to be experienced across the
container. This range of soil temperature within a larger pan may be
sufficient to influence meristems in the warmer part of the medium
to switch growth pattern, consequently causing both forms of leaf to
appear on the same plant as reported by Erskine (1994) and quoted
above.
Further corroboration comes from the distribution in the wild,

concerning which Erskine (1994) notes, “Oxalis laciniata is found in
the province of Santa Cruz near both the east coast and the Andes
but avoiding the very dry central steppe” with its more extreme
range of temperatures. Oxalis squamoso-radicosa has a wider
distribution and, notes Erskine, “generally seems to predominate
when it occurs with O. laciniata.”
In view of the above, it is here proposed to reduce O. squamoso-

radicosa to synonymy.
Oxalis laciniata Cav. Icon. 5: 7, t. 412 (1799)

Synonym: Oxalis squamoso-radicosa Steud., Flora 39: 443 (1856)
This has the advantage of retaining the name O. laciniata, which is

currently used for these plants in cultivation and in horticultural
literature, including the RHS Plant Finder.

A review of trunk-forming species of Furcraea

(Agavaceae) in cultivation in the UK
J.C. DAVID
Botany Department, RHS Garden Wisley
Introduction
Members of the genus Furcraea are monocarpic rosette-forming
plants distributed from Mexico into tropical South America. In the
wild and in cultivation they make dramatic features due to the large
size of their inflorescences, which can reach up to 9m in height and
over 2m across, and resemble gigantic yuccas. One species, F. foetida
(syn. F. gigantea), is grown widely in the tropics for the high quality
fibre that can be obtained from the leaves. It was the first species to
be introduced into cultivation in the UK, being grown at Hampton
Court in 1690 (Baker, 1888). Most of the species have tough, rigid
leaves, often with marginal spines, but a few (treated by Baker, l.c. in
subgenus Roezlia) have more flexible leaves and lack marginal spines.
In that group he included two Mexican species, F. bedinghausii and
F. longaeva, and plants under these two names have been most
widely cultivated in the UK since the middle of the nineteenth
century. Both these species form distinct trunks over 1m in height
and have been reported as being successfully grown outside in
milder parts of the British Isles, nowhere more so than Tresco Abbey
Gardens on the Isles of Scilly, generally under the name of
F. longaeva.
In the treatment of the genus in the European Garden Flora (Couper,

1986), four species are mentioned as trunk-forming: F. selloa,
F. foetida, F. bedinghausii and F. roezlii. The first two species are
distinct in that they have rigid, rather than leathery flaccid leaves;
the latter two species are separated on the basis of trunk height, the
habit and colour of the leaves. Rather curiously F. longaeva is not

24 J.C. DAVID
mentioned. Nor is that species mentioned in Irish & Irish (2000)

which suggests that it is not currently in cultivation in the US.
In recent years, with the increased interest in growing a wider range

of exotics in British gardens, more species of Furcraea have appeared
in commerce. For years only plants under the name of F. longaeva
were offered but in the RHS Plant Finder 1998–99, F. bedinghausii
appeared, and rapidly became offered by a number of nurseries that
specialize in hardy exotics. Although the species is not new to
horticulture, as it is recorded in gardening literature from the 1880s,
it seemed to disappear from cultivation in the early part of the
twentieth century. Its reappearance raised a question as to its
relationship with what is in cultivation under the name of
F. longaeva; a problem further compounded by the appearance of a
wholly unfamiliar species name, F. parmentieri, for the first time in
the RHS Plant Finder 2007–2008, under a collector’s code suggesting
a new introduction. It became clear that the naming of the species
grown in the UK had become confused.
Historical survey
To assist with resolving the problem of the correct name for the
plants grown outside in the UK it was necessary to investigate the
origin of the plants under these names.
1. Furcraea longaeva Karw. & Zucc.

This species was first discovered by Baron Wilhelm Friedrich von
Karwinski on Mount Tanga¹ in Oaxaca Province of Mexico, growing
at 10,000 feet, in May 1829. It was named and described in 1833,
and according to Loudon (1838) was brought to England by Francis
Rauch in 1833 (Fig. 1). Only seven plants were introduced and six
were sold to Messrs Loddiges’ nursery (Loudon, 1838). It flowered in
the conservatory of the Regent’s Park Botanic Garden in the summer
¹ The modern name and location of this mountain has not, as far as I have been able
to determine, been established in botanical literature. It is possibly the one now known
as Monte Fiscal-Santos, between San Francisco Cajonos (96° 15’ W, 17° 10’ N) and
Villa de Mitla, west of Oaxaca. Originally known as Mount Tanga, it was re-named for
two martyrs who met their end on the mountain.

of 1864 and was described and illustrated for Curtis’s Botanical

Magazine t.5519 (1865). It is next cited, with an engraving taken
from a photograph, in flower in a garden in the Scilly Isles in 1876
(Fig. 2). There is a further photograph and a painting by Frances le
Marchant reproduced in King (1985) which date from 1875
(although King states that the date of introduction was 1894). From
that point on the Furcraea growing at Tresco, for that was “the
garden in the Scilly Isles”, has frequently been reported as
F. longaeva (see Hunkin, 1944; Arnold-Forster, 1948, with the
memorable plate facing p. 330). The connection with the following
species is made possible by material in the herbarium at Kew.
Together with the specimens in the cultivated folder for Furcraea,
there is a letter and photograph from Thomas Algernon Dorrien-
Smith to Mr Dyer, dated 14 November 1881. The photograph is of a
plant that flowered in 1875 and is remarkably similar to the
engraved plate published in Gardeners’ Chronicle cited above. In the
letter Dorrien-Smith asks for Kew to determine if the plant is
F. longaeva or not. He comments that the plants had produced many
offshoots² and that these had flowered that year [1881]. He also
notes that the original plants were there when he came to Tresco
Abbey in 1872.
2. Furcraea bedinghausii K. Koch

Like F. longaeva, this is a species that originated from Mexico. It was
first found by Benedikt Roezl, in Mexico, in January 1857 on Mount
Acusca [Ajusco], south of Mexico City, at a height of 4000m (Roezl,
1881). It seems that he was the source of material that entered into
cultivation in Europe in the 1860s, initially through Berlin Botanic
Garden. The species received a succession of different names over
the ten years that followed its introduction but the one that became
fixed in the literature was F. bedinghausii, named after the Belgian
gardener who first flowered it in 1863.
² King (1985: 59) quotes from a letter from Thomas Algernon’s wife dated 31 August
1876 saying that the Furcraea “has thrown out hundreds of little green shoots all over
the hanging branches where the flowers were.”
Fig. 2 An engraving, taken from a photograph, of the Furcraea which flowered

on Tresco in 1875, published in The Gardeners’ Chronicle (1876).

28 J.C. DAVID
It did not receive a mention in UK horticultural literature until a

report by a Mr E. Woodall, who had managed to flower the plant
outside against a wall in his garden in Scarborough in the summer of
1890. Mr Woodall had obtained his plant in Nice two years
previously, as Beschorneria yuccoides, and sent flowering material to
Kew for identification. This material was used for a plate and
description in Curtis’s Botanical Magazine t.7170 (1891). William
Watson, then Assistant Curator at Kew, in an article on furcraeas in
The Garden later that year, makes mention of Mr Woodall’s
achievement but also links it to the plants grown at Tresco. He cites
the letter from Dorrien-Smith stating that both plants [of Furcraea]
present in the garden in 1872 had flowered in 1875 and that they
had produced “offshoots” from which further plants had been
grown. In the article, Watson draws attention to the other names
which this species has been given, amongst which is Yucca
parmentieri. Watson’s article is accompanied by an engraving from a
photograph of a plant that had flowered at Adare Manor, County
Limerick, which had been grown in a conservatory there.
The species is subsequently reported in The Garden as flowering at

Trelissick in Cornwall in the summer of 1897. The note states that
while F. longaeva flourishes at Tresco, F. bedinghausii is far more
ornamental on account of its pendulous inflorescence forming a
curtain around the flower stem. Later reports of F. bedinghausii
include flowering in South Devon in 1909 (Gardeners’ Chronicle
ser. 3, 46: 340, 1909), at Pendarves, Camborne, Cornwall in the
summer of 1913 (Gardeners’ Chronicle, ser. 3, 54: 166–167, 1913)
and much more recently in 1972 when it flowered in a garden in
Kingsbridge, S. Devon (JRHS 79: 538, 1972). On all these occasions
the plants had originated from Tresco, and were received under the
name of F. bedinghausii, which makes it rather odd that in more
recent times even Tresco Abbey Garden has reverted to referring to
the plant as F. longaeva (King, 1985; Nelhams, 2000: 142).
3. Furcraea roezlii André

This name was introduced by André (1887) for a Furcraea that
flowered in the Jardin d’Acclimatation at Hyères in the south of
France. The plant had been grown under the name Roezlia regia; the
genus name already being in use for a genus in the Melastomaceae,
André renamed the plant as F. roezlii. In his account André gives no
indication as to the source of the plants but distinguishes the species
from other species of Furcraea on account of the spread out
appearance of the petals, in contrast to the campanulate appearance
of the flowers in the other species. Subsequently André (1895) noted
that F. roezlii was identical to F. bedinghausii Koch based on Baker
(1888). However, Trelease (1920) maintained the two species as
separate, distinguishing them on the relative length of the leaves and
on other features of the leaves. In F. roezlii, the leaves are said to be
up to 2 metres long, rather concave and often recurved; in
F. bedinghausii the leaves were given as 50–60cm long, short and
stiff, and rather flat. This treatment has been followed by Irish & Irish
(2000) who add that the two species also differ in leaf width
(F. roezlii, approx. 8cm; F. bedinghausii, 5–7cm). It is interesting to
note that in the same account the trunks of F. roezlii are stated to
reach 4m, whereas Trelease (1920) gives the height as 1–2m.
Taxonomy
The confusion over the identity of the species in cultivation can be
resolved as the Mexican trunk-forming species were revised by
García-Mendoza (2000) who provided a key to the species. A
translation of the key is provided below:

In the treatment by García-Mendoza (2000), Furcraea bedinghausii is

considered as a synonym of F. parmentieri, which turns out to be the
earliest name provided for this species. From the key and the
descriptions provided by García-Mendoza, the two species can be
compared (Table 1).
It is therefore evident that there is only one species of Furcraea that,

at present, is widely grown outside in the UK and it is the species
with pendent branch ends to the inflorescence and which bears
bulbils after flowering, namely F. parmentieri.
Table 1. Comparison of F. parmentieri and F. longaeva

Character F. parmentieri F. longaeva
Inflorescence branch ends pendent straight

Leaves glaucous dark green
Leaf length (cm) 60–90(–120) 120–160
Leaf width (cm) 5–10 10–14(–17)
Underside roughened smooth

This is borne out by a study of the material held in the herbarium at

Kew which, in addition to the material cited above from Tresco,
includes specimens of the Tresco plant that flowered in 1881, with
bulbils and seed pod. There is also the specimen from Mr Woodall
that was used for the illustration in the Botanical Magazine cited
above, as well as specimens from plants grown at Kew (1878) and La
Mortola (1895). All have been identified by Baker as F. bedinghausii.
It seems highly likely that after its initial introduction in 1833,

Furcraea longaeva was lost to cultivation in the UK some time in the
1860s or 1870s. This name should not be used for plants currently
being grown as hardy exotics in our gardens.

New combinations for the varieties of

Sinopodophyllum hexandrum
J.M.H. SHAW
c/o Botany Department, RHS Garden Wisley
While in the monograph on Epimedium Stearn (2002) considered

that there were two genera in the Podophylloideae, Diphylleia and
Podophyllum, some other workers divide Podophyllum into three
genera: Podophyllum confined to P. peltatum, Dysosma for the
Eastern Asiatic taxa, and Sinopodophyllum, for the Himalayan plant
often known as Podophyllum hexandrum. The decision to recognise
Sinopodophyllum is based on several characters that are often used at
generic level. While some of these characters are associated with the
breeding system, such as pollen exine sculpture and pollen grains
released in tetrads, other characters appear more fundamental,
including the unique shape of the first leaf which is always palmately
trilobed, ovule orientation, and seed shape and structure. These
morphological characters provided the basis for Ying (1979) to
establish Sinopodophyllum.
Several molecular studies have concluded that the Podophylloideae is

monophyletic including Liu et al. (2002) and Wang et al. (2007).
Kim et al. (2003), using the chloroplast gene ndhF, also inferred the
monophyly of the Podophyllum group, and found that the
Sinopodophyllum-Dysosma clade was more closely related to Diphylleia
than to Podophylum peltatum. Gong et al. (2006) have shown that
chloroplast trnD-trnT region can be used to separate S. hexandrum
from Dysosma spp. More detailed studies that include representatives
of all four genera in the Podophylloideae along with a greater number
of DNA sequences are needed to resolve the relationships within this
group.

34 J.M.H. SHAW
Much attention has been focused on investigating the relationship

between the North American P. peltatum and the Asiatic S. hexandrum,
probably influenced by the many studies in this remarkable
disjunction. In fact, Ma and Hu (1997) concluded from their analysis
that there was ”no direct relatonship between Podophyllum and
Sinopodophyllum”, which appears to be an overstatement, when
morphological and phytochemical data are considered. It would be
more informative to focus on the relationship between P. peltatum
and the Dysosma group which have most characters in common.
The only consistent characters separating these entities are the
elongated internodes of the rhizome and extra stamens present in
P. peltatum. Hybrids between P. peltatum and species of section
Dysosma have been obtained by several investigators without
difficulty.
Sinopodophyllum hexandrum (Royle) T. S. Ying has long been recog-

nised as a very variable taxon. This has recently been studied by
Sultan et al. (2008) using genetic and phytochemical markers. Their
work has revealed a strong correlation between phytochemistry and
DNA polymorphism, and demonstrated that morphologically distinct
accessions are distinguishable using phytochemistry and by
molecular methods. It is therefore useful to establish the correct
names to use for the infraspecific taxa.
Wallich, who first proposed the name Podophyllum emodi for the
species in 1824, also added a variety royleana [sic] for the variant
with dissected leaflets. However, as both names were published
without a description they are invalid as nomina nuda. Royle (1834)
published the name Podophyllum hexandrum and also recognised
two taxa. He applied the name P. emodi Wall. to the plant with a
trilobed leaf and described his P. hexandrum as having “leaves 3- or
5-lobed, with the lobes narrowly acute and serrulate towards the
apex”. This description no doubt influenced Soejarto et al. (1981) in
choosing the dissected leaved specimen on the right hand side of
Royle’s herbarium sheet when lectotypifying P. hexandrum. There is
NEW COMBINATIONS IN SINOPODOPHYLLUM 35
no doubt therefore that plants with deeply dissected leaf lobes are
correctly var. hexandrum.
Chatterjee & Mukerjee (Chatterjee, 1953) described a number of

varieties attributed to P. emodi (a synonym of S. hexandrum) based
on foliar characters and position of the flower. In addition to
accepting the two distinctive leaf shapes as the basis for varieties,
they also recognised a var. jaeschkei based on a specimen with the
leaf still partly folded and unexpanded; a var. bhootanense with the
flower inserted just below the upper leaf lamina; and a var. axillare
with the flower inserted in the axil between the two petioles. These
varieties were transferred to P. hexandrum by Browicz (1973).
Due to the sympodial organisation and vasculature of the aerial

shoot in Sinopodophyllum the point at which the flower is inserted
along the petiole is very unstable. A single individual plant may
produce several aerial shoots bearing the flower in different positions
that range from near the axil to just under the leaf lamina. This has
been investigated by Martin (1958) and is discussed further in Shaw
(2002). Such an unstable character is not a sound basis for the
creation of botanical varieties, hence the varieties proposed by
Chatterjee & Mukerjee are reduced to synonymy below.
It should also be noted that the position of the inflorescence is un-

stable in many taxa of Podophyllum section Dysosma. Consequently,
this raises serious doubts as to the nature of some entities based on
this character in the draft Flora of China account¹. This instability
could lead to an individual plant being identified as Dysosma
aurantiocaulis in one season and subsequently being determined as
Dysosma tsayuensis another year. However, a detailed consideration
of this problem is beyond the scope of this short note.
A sheet of the Jaeschke collection at Edinburgh has the leaves

expanded and provides a basis for identifying var. jaeschkei as the
trilobed foliage variant.

36 J.M.H. SHAW
Another variety, particularly desirable in horticulture, is based on

plants from China with dissected foliage often with dark purple-
brown mottling, sepals often with long linear trichomes on the
exterior surface and petals with deep rose-pink, sometimes crimson-
flecked, exterior. It was described as var. chinense by Sprague, and
illustrated in the Botanical Magazine in 1920.

Key to varieties of S. hexandrum

Note. Since seedlings of all varieties first produce leaves without
deep dissection like var. emodi, only mature or flowering plants can
be identified with this key. While this key may work on plants in
cultivation where self-pollinating inbred lines are selected and maint-
ained, in the wild there is greater variation, and intermediates occur,
partly due to limited outbreeding between varieties. Such individuals
often produce very short aborted anthers with sterile pollen and in

38 J.M.H. SHAW
cultivation have been called var. “substerilis”—a name which is

neither valid under the ICBN, nor suitable as a cultivar epithet.

Postscript. Subsequent to preparing the above note, the combination

Podophyllum hexandrum var. sikkimense (Chatterjee & Mukerjee) R.C.
Srivastava, Flora of Sikkim: 62 (1998)² came to light. It should be
noted that Podophyllum sikkimense is better treated as a synonym of
P. aurantiocaule. The isotype at BM! has pollen in monads and the
characteristic leaf margins of P. aurantiocaule. Sinopodophyllum
hexandrum releases pollen in tetrads, and has simple leaf marginal
teeth. See Shaw in Stearn (2002: 301-302), Grierson & Long, Flora
of Bhutan 1(2): 329 (1984).

Nomenclatural standards for cultivated plants at the

United States National Arboretum Herbarium (NA)
D.H. VOSS¹
Vienna, Virginia, USA
The Nomenclatural Standards listed below were originally privately

published in 2007 (Voss, 2007) and a limited number of copies were
distributed to Libraries as cited below. However, since it would be
useful to make the list more widely available it is re-published below.
Preface
The International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants (ICNCP)
has introduced the practice of designating an herbarium specimen
or equivalent material as a nomenclatural standard “to make clear
the precise application of the name” of a cultivated variety or Group
(Brickell et al., 2004). Voucher specimens submitted in connection
with registration of cultivar epithets are frequently designated as
standards. This list was published to effect the designation of
nomenclatural standards held by the herbarium of the US National
Arboretum in conformity with ICNCP, Division V: Nomenclatural
Standards, Clause 7. For the purpose of priority (Clause 8), the date
of designation of these standards is 2 July 2007.
The standards held in the herbarium of the US National Arboretum

include representative specimens of cultivars in Lagerstroemia,
Pyracantha, and Viburnum introduced by Dr Don Egolf, long-time
shrub breeder at the Arboretum. The major share of Ilex standards is
attributable to Mr Gene Eisenbeiss’s long tenure as registrar for the
Holly Society of America. Miscellaneous woody plant standards were
deposited by Longwood Gardens and US National Arboretum
registrars representing the American Association of Botanical Gardens
and Arboreta (now named the American Public Gardens Association).

STANDARDS AT THE US NATIONAL ARBORETUM HERBARIUM 41
In many genera, herbarium specimens have only limited value for

identification. For example, dried plant material offers little clue to
the flower colour and colour patterning that is diagnostic in
distinguishing many azaleas. In holly, flower colour is of little
concern but leaf form and fruit are of primary interest. It is important
that colour and other fugitive diagnostic features be reported for
inclusion in a standard portfolio. Photographs may provide useful
information, such as plant habit, that is essential to interpreting
application of the name. Colour is a particularly difficult matter:
vernacular colour names are often misleading, and photographic
reproduction is not reliable. Although high-quality colour charts are
expensive, those naming cultivars should seek to evaluate diagnostic
colours by reference to the Munsell Book of Color or the Royal
Horticultural Society Colour Chart.
Preparation and speed in transmittal of plant material affects the

value of herbarium specimens to be held as standards. Proper
packing and expedited handling need to be observed at each step
along the way from the plant to the herbarium. The finest specimen,
freshly cut and then enclosed in a plastic bag and mailed by parcel
post, may turn into blackened, mouldy trash before it reaches the
herbarium.
Before “Standards” were introduced in the 1995 edition of the

ICNCP, Dr Egolf instituted the practice of preparing sets of herbarium
sheets to document his plant introductions. These sets typically
comprised separate sheets for flowers, foliage, fruit, photographs,
and documentation relating to release of the cultivar. Subsequently,
the practice of combining sheets of authentic material into
numbered sets was continued. Because flowers, mature foliage, and
fruit are generally not available at the same time, these specimens
necessarily result from different gatherings.
A standard is defined as an herbarium specimen or its equivalent,

and an herbarium specimen is understood to be plant material from

42 D.H. VOSS
a single gathering. Accordingly, where a numbered set contains

sheets from more than one gathering, a single sheet has been
selected as the standard and, in Voss 2007, was identified by setting
the plant name in boldface. Other sheets from the set belong to the
standard portfolio, and were listed to indicate the nature of material
available for study. In some cases, the plant material from a single
gathering may be mounted on more than one sheet; this usually
occurs when plant parts are unusually large, as in the case of Musa.
Each entry in the checklist shows a barcode number identifying the

sheet, the name of the cultivar, letter code(s) indicating the nature of
the material, and in some cases a sheet number. The letter codes
used to indicate the character of the material on each sheet differ
from those used by the Royal Horticultural Society (Grayer, 2006). A
specimen may have flower buds, flowers, or fruit but may or may
not have foliage. The codes appearing in the following list are:

Nomenclatural Standards deposited in the Royal

Horticultural Society’s Herbarium, Wisley (WSY)
November 2007–October 2008
COMPILED BY S.R. GRAYER
Botany Department, RHS Garden Wisley
The International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants (Brickell

et al., 2004) states: “A nomenclatural standard is an herbarium
specimen or its equivalent to which the name of a cultivar or Group
is permanently attached” (ICNCP Div. V, clause 1). Items are sent for
deposit in the Royal Horticultural Society’s herbarium (WSY); in
accordance with Division V, clause 1 of the ICNCP, by listing them in
this publication, they are officially designated nomenclatural
standards. This list is a continuation of the list previously published in
Hanburyana 3: 115–126 (2008).
The list that follows gives the plant name; the date it was collected
or registered; the form the standard takes (i.e. herbarium specimen –
flowering (fl), fruiting (fr), vegetative (v); illustration – painting (p),
photographic transparency (tr), colour photograph (pc) which
includes prints from digital files); and the unique accession number.

OBITUARY 97
John Lewis 1921–2009
It is with regret that we report the death of John Lewis in May at the
age of 87. John began his botanical career at the Royal Botanic
Gardens, Kew where he worked on the Flora of Tropical East Africa
from August 1950 to January 1957, in that time producing accounts
of Turneraceae (1954) and Rhizophoraceae (1956). In 1957 he moved
to the Natural History Museum (NHM) where he worked until his
retirement in 1981. He was a founding member of the International
Association for Plant Taxonomy and a member of the International
Organisation of Plant Biosystematists. He served as the Secretary to
the Systematics Association Committee for Descriptive Biological
Terminology, which resulted in the paper and associated chart laying
down the names and definitions of simple symmetrical plane shapes
published in Taxon in 1962. This chart has been used in Stearn’s
Botanical Latin ever since. John maintained an interest in the
theoretical aspects of taxonomy which was evident in his later papers
on the classification of cultivars published in 1986.
His principal interest was in the tropical monocot family Xyridaceae

and while he carried out detailed research in the family for over 20
years, the results were published in regional floristic accounts. It is
evident that during his time at the NHM he developed an interest in
conifers and in horticulture, as demonstrated by his article in the
then fledgling journal, The Plantsman, on the flowering of Xyris
muelleri at Kew in 1980. His interest in horticulture, and more
specifically horticultural taxonomy, led to his involvement with the
development of the European Garden Flora and his membership of
the editorial team for the first two volumes. His interest in conifers is
reflected also in his contribution of accounts for genera in Cephalo-
taxaceae, Taxodiaceae, Cupressaceae (some), Pinaceae (some) and
Ginkgoaceae in the first volume (1986). Following retirement from
the NHM, John took over from Humphrey Welch as International
Conifer Registrar, for which the RHS is the ICRA. This proved to be

98 OBITUARY
an extremely productive period for the Register, with the preliminary

list being produced in 1985, followed by Part 1 of the Register (Abies
to Austrotaxus) in 1987, Part 2 (Bellis to Phaeosphaera) in 1989, Part
3 (Chamaecyparis, Cupressus & × Cupressocyparis) in 1992 and finally
the part that John himself was most proud of, Part 4 (Juniperus), in
1998. This last part was produced after John had handed over as
Registrar to Piers Trehane. It is a testament to his activity that it has
not been until this year, some 11 years later, that the next part of
the register has been published.
John was also a keen painter and it was a delight to be shown by

him a painting he made of a tree at Wisley in the 1970s, which was
clearly a Nyssa, and which turned out to be the plant which
subsequently was named as Nyssa sylvatica ‘Wisley Bonfire’, noted
for its exceptionally fine autumn colouring. It was John’s wish that
the painting be presented to the RHS and it will be kept at Wisley.
