Mitt. Deut. Dendr. Gesel. 70:1 15-131. 1978 and in Holly Soc. Amer. 

 Bui. 16:1-18. 1978, established the separate, distinct identities of 

 NUMMULARIA and MARIESII and clarified the confused 

 synonymy. NUMMULARIA, as a cultivar, is based on /. nummularia 

 Franchet & Savatier, a single clone of cultivated origin. /. nummularia 

 was a rare, early derived Japanese plant not known outside of Japan and 

 may no longer be in cultivation. The clone named NUMMULARIA 

 clearly should not be confused with MARIESII. The NUMMULARIA 

 of van Gelderen (Dendroflora 8:33. 1971) and of many other 

 horticultural authors equates to MARIESII. See f. nummularia for full 

 syn.
