BUNTING (Bunting's Nurs., Selbyville, Delaware, cat. p. 25. sp. 1961, 

 without descr.). 



BUTLER (Butler Nurs., Fayetteville, North Carolina, cat. p. 8. 1967-68, 

 without descr., as one of their introd.). Idem, cat. p. 12. sp. 1991, as 

 BUTLERI - discovered by Gorden Butler; upright, habit similar to 

 STEED'S with a "loose fullness"; lvs. lustrous; fr. yellow; hardy to 

 southern Pennsylvania. (Watanabeana Group). 



BUTTERBALL (Cannon Plants, Greenwood, Delaware, advert, in Amer. 

 Nurseryman 139(6):82. 1974, without descr.). Ibid., Price list, fall 1977 - 

 yellow fr., orig. from sdlgs. distrib. by USDA Pit. Intro. Sta., Glenn Dale, 

 Maryland; named by Cannon; sister sdlg. of FORTY NINER, 

 HONEYCOMB, IVORY HALL, IVORY TOWER, SIR ECHO, 

 STARGLOW. Illegitimate, since descr. is inadequate. (Watanabeana 

 Group). 



BUXIFOLIA (Andorra Nurs., Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, cat. p. 17. 

 1912, without descr.). Thought to be Andorra's own sel. Illegitimate, 

 since the name /. aquifolium BUXIFOLIA has priority. 



BUXIFOLIA (Cottage Gdns., Queens Village, New York, cat. p. 1 1. 1931) 

 - dwarf, irregular branched; lvs. small, boxlike. Illegitimate, since the 

 name /. aquifolium BUXIFOLIA has priority. 



BUXIFOLIA (Tingle Nurs., Pittsville, Maryland, cat. p. 32. sp. 1935, 

 without descr.) - in syn. of CONVEXA. Ibid., cat. p. 42. fall 1935 - 

 BULLATA and BUXIFOLIA in syn. of CONVEXA. = CONVEXA, 

 f. bullata Rehder, var. convexa Makino, f. convexa (Makino) Rehder. 



BUXIFOLIA (Tom Dodd Nurs., Semmes, Alabama, cat. p. 16. 1954-55) - 

 columnar, very hardy; male. Orig. as sdlg. of CONVEXA about 1946; 

 sel. 1950; named and introd. by Tom Dodd Nurs. 1954. D. Wyman, 

 Arnoldia 20(7):46. 1960, and Amer. Nurseryman 1 12(9):23. 1960 - of 

 Tom Dodd Nurs.; "name which in its varietal form has been determined 

 as a syn. of convexa" [= CONVEXA]. It is unclear whether Wyman 

 intended "his" var. to be ranked a botanical variety or cultivar. There is 

 no valid published botanical rank of/, crenata var. buxifolia. The bot. 

 var. convexa Makino (1928) was reduced to f. convexa (Makino) Rehder 

 in 1931 and is now interpreted as cultivar CONVEXA. Cultivar 

 BUXIFOLIA of Dodd is a different clone that does not fit the description 

 of CONVEXA and is not synonymous. Further, /. crenata BUXIFOLIA 

 is illegitimate at the cultivar rank, since the name /. aquifolium 

 BUXIFOLIA has priority. /. crenata BUXIFOLIA of Dodd, of Andorra, 

 of Cottage Gardens, and of Towson are all different plants of 

 independent origin. Only /. crenata BUXIFOLIA of Tingle can be 

 equated to CONVEXA. 



BUXIFOLIA (Towson Nurs., Towson, Maryland, cat. p. 37. 1930) - 

 columnar; lvs. broad, dark green; female. Orig. as sdlg. in Towson Nurs. 

 Named and introd. 1924-25 by Towson Nurs. Illegitimate, since the 

 name /. aquifolium BUXIFOLIA has priority.
