Cultivars of Prunus: The Sato-zakura 

 Group 



forma affinis = JO-NIOI 



AKABANA^MAZAKURA 



Miyoshi (1916) Japanese name: Akabana-mazakura. Syn.: P. 

 serrulata f. multiplex subf. rubri flora Miyoshi (1916). 



AKEBONO* 



Kaibara, Ekiken (1698); Mikuma, Katen (1803); Shirakawa, Rakuo 

 (1822); Yashiro, Hirokata (1830). Russell (1934) as P. serrulata 

 Akebono. Sano (1970) as Akebono. Syn.: P. serrulata f. lucifera 

 Miyoshi (1928) and Gashu (1976). (Not P. yedoensis Matsum. cv. 

 Akebono introduced by W. B. Clarke of San Jose, Calif.) 



f. albida = SHIROTAE 



subf. albida = TANABATA 



f. albo-rosea = FUGENZO and SHIRO-FUGEN 



The name "albo-rosea" was given to two distinct cherries in the 

 Sato-zakura group by different authors. Makino (1908) used it for 

 cv. Fugenzo and Wilson (1916) applied it to cv. Shiro-fugen. Both 

 Fugenzo and Shiro-fugen are names of Japanese flowering cherries 

 known in Japan prior to 1908. The mature flowers of cv. Fugenzo 

 are rose pink, whereas those of cv. Shiro-fugen are white. The 

 priority for the correct use of the cultivar names "Fugenzo" and 

 "Shiro-fugen" is established here. Albo-rosea of different authors for 

 different plants is cited as synonymy for cv. Fugenzo and cv. 

 Shiro-fugen. Miyoshi (1916) did not use the Latin term "albo-rosea/' 



f. amabilis = HIGURASHI 



AMANOGAWA* 



Sakamoto, Kozen (c. 1830); Galloway (1907) P.I. 12227 as P. 

 pseudo-cerasus amanogawa. Sano (1970) as Amanogawa. Hillier 

 and Sons (1974) and Bean (1976) as P. cv. Amanogawa. Syns.: P. 

 lannesiana cv. Erecta (Sano, 1961; Ohwi and Ohta, 1973; Honda 

 and Hayashi, 1974; Okada et al., 1975; and Fl. Assoc. Jap., 1980
