(1940) editions of his Man. Cult. Trees and Shrubs. Rehder later 

 changed var. luteo-variegata back to forma in his Biblio. Trees and 

 Shrubs, 1949. B. Boom, Nederl. Dendr., 3d ed., p. 310. 1949 - lvs. 

 golden flecked; with syns. of var. aureo-vahegata Goldring and var. 

 fortunei Hort. Wister et al., Holly Soc. Amer. Bui. 6:33. 1953, without 

 descr. - with syn. of var. vahegata Nicholson. Illegitimate as a botanical 

 var., since the plant orig. from cult. = LUTEO-VARIEGATA. See 

 LUTEO-VARIEGATA for full syn. 



f. luteo-variegata (Regel) Rehder (A. Rehder, Mitt. Deut. Dendr. Gesel. 

 1908(17): 161. 1908 - reduced var. luteo-variegata Regel in rank to bot. 

 forma; lvs. rounded, oval; a mutation from var. typica, not from 

 f. vahegata G. Nicholson, Kew Hand-List 1894. C. Schneider, Illus. 

 Handb. Laubholzkunde, Suppl. 2:1023. 1912 - hardly different from 

 f. microphylla except gold variegated (from Rehder); listed by H. Hesse 

 Nurs., Werner, Germany; with var. aureo-variegata Hort. in syn. 

 T. Loesener, Mitt. Deut. Dendr. Gesel. 1919(28): 1919, without descr. - 

 cultivated form from Japan. A. Rehder, Biblio. Trees & Shrubs, p. 402. 

 1949, with the following in syn.: var. luteo-variegata Regel, var. aureo- 

 variegata Goldring, var. vahegata Nicholson, I. fortunei f. aureo- 

 variegata Hort. ex Schelle. S.-y. Hu, Jour. Arnold Arb. 30:325. 1949 - 

 listed the same syn. as Rehder did in 1949. Idem, Nat'l Hort. Mag. 

 36(1 ):49, 62. 1957 - a "horticultural form" with elliptic or lanceolate 

 lvs., variegated with yellow. Apparently Hu (1957) did not consider 

 f. luteo-variegata to be a cultivar, since she indicated GOLDEN 

 VARIEGATED was a clone off. luteo-variegata. B. Boom, Nederl. 

 Dendr., p. 310. 1949 - lvs. golden flecked; with var. aureo-variegata 

 Goldring and var. fortunei Hort. in syn. Dubious as a bot. forma, since 

 the plant orig. from cult. = LUTEO-VARIEGATA. See LUTEO- 

 VARIEGATA for complete list of syn. 



LUTEO-VARIEGATA (B. Boom, Nederl. Dendr., 4th ed., p. 337. 1959, 

 as cv.) - dwarf; lvs. less than 2 cm long, like LATIFOLIA but yellow 

 spotted; orig. Russia 1864. E. Regel, in Gartenflora 13:37, 39. 1886, 

 named this pit. var. luteo-variegata and stated that this plant was sent 

 from Japan to Russia by Maximowicz in 1863. Boom was the first to 

 publish the name LUTEO-VARIEGATA at cv. rank, which he based 

 on var. luteo-variegata Regel. He also changed var. aureo-variegata 

 Goldring in 1959 from a syn. of luteo-variegata, as it is indicated in his 

 1949 ed., and gave it a cv. rank, separating these two cvs. by leaf size, 

 stating that LUTEO-VARIEGATA has lvs. less than 2 cm and 

 AUREO-VARIEGATA has lvs. more than 2 cm long. F. Meyer, Pit. 

 Expl. Ornamentals, USDA ARS 34-9, p. 144. 1959 - lvs. small, 

 narrowly elliptic, some occasionally blotched yellowish; PI 242998, 

 obtained from Royal Bot. Gard. Kew 1958. S.-y. Hu, Amer. Hort. Mag. 

 49(4): 199. 1970 - lvs. elliptic or lanceolate, variegated or blotched with 

 yellow; introd. to U.S. from Royal Bot. Gard. Kew in 1957 by F.
