Fugenzo. (47134). A medium-sized tree with long, 

 pendent inflorescences, two green leaflets in the flower- 

 bud, and striking full-blown flowers, red at first, soon 

 becoming white. The flower buds open one after another 

 thus prolonging the blossoming time usually to the firs t 

 of May. I have seen the last flower as late as the first 

 of June. (Adapted from Miyoshi , Japanische Bergkirschen, 

 p. 123, under P. sermlata, f. classica.) "One of the 

 most beautiful of all cherries and now well known in 

 gardens under the name of James H. Veitch. The flowers 

 are rose-pink and the variety is distinguished by the 

 presence of two leafy carpels in the center of each 

 flower. Its Japanese name is Kofugen or Benifugen, and 

 this and its white f orm(albo-rosca)are the only kinds of 

 Japanese cherries which have green and leafy carpels."
