Massachusetts, cat. 1934; and Tingle Nurs., Pittsville, Maryland, cat. 

 fall 1934. The names CONVEXA and BULLATA have been confused 

 with each other and are thought by some to be two distinct cultivars, 

 although in fact they are the same clone. The name BULLATA 

 originated from f. bullata Rehder, and although corrected by Rehder to 

 f. convexa in the same publication in the same year, the name 

 BULLATA became so entrenched that it is still seen in nursery 

 catalogs. = BULLATA, f. bullata Rehder, BUXIFOLIA of Tingle, var. 

 convexa Makino, f. convexa (Makino) Rehder.

 descr.). 



CONVEXA COMPACTA (Lovett's Nurs., Colts Neck, New Jersey, cat.

 Tennessee, advert, in Amer. Nurseryman 124(12):6. 1966, without 

 descr. Illegitimate, since the name is in Latin form and is a later 

 synonym of COMPACTA. = COMPACTA (Bennett Hybrid Group),

 (Bennett Hybrid Group), and not CONVEXA COMPACTA of Lovett. 



CONVEXA HORIZONTALS (John Dieckmann & Sons, Wheeling, West 

 Virginia, cat. p. 8. 1980) - horizontal branching; lvs. like CONVEXA. 

 Illegitimate, since the name is in Latin form. 



CONVEXA MALE (Robbin's Nurs., Willard, North Carolina, cat. p. 3. 

 1963-64) - growth and appearance exactly like those of CONVEXA; 

 without fruit. C. Tuley in H. Dengler, Amer. Nurseryman 121(1):88. 

 1965 and C. Tuley, Proc. 38th Meet. Holly Soc. Amer. p. 2. 1965, as 

 CONVEXA (male) - similar to CONVEXA and as good in every way, 

 but without objectionable heavy fruiting; male; (Bennett Hybrid 

 Group). Illegitimate, since the name is in Latin form. 



CONVEXA NANA (Strander Evergreen Nurs., Seattle, Washington, cat.

 Nurseryman 144(5):48. 1976, without descr.) - listed in auction of 

 Millcreek Landscape Div., Newark, Delaware. Pyramidal; lvs. shiny, 

 convex. Did not orig. from Millcreek but was named there from a plant 

 reputedly obtained from Greenbrier Farms Nurs., Norfolk, Virginia, 

 about 1956. Thought to have been a USDA plant that Greenbrier was 

 testing as one of the Glass selections. Does not fit the descr. of GLASS. 

 More likely, it was the early Bennett Hybrid called FASTIGIATA.
