GLORY, COMPACTA NANA #1, COMPACTA NO. 2, GREEN 

 GLORY. 



CONNERS (E. Orton, Jr., Holly Soc. Amer. Let. 25:16. 1965) - upright, 

 compact; lvs. roundish; young stems reddish winter color. Volunteer 

 sdlg. sel. made about 1946 at J. Schmit's Nurs., Millburn, New Jersey, 

 by C. Conners of Rutgers — The State University, New Brunswick, New 

 Jersey. Grown at Rutgers as crenata #1, and by E. Wyckoff, Bedminster, 

 New Jersey, who offered it for sale sometime before 1954. Narrow, 

 upright, columnar, about 3 times taller than wide, rounded top. Thought 

 to be hardy to -5°F. 



var. convexa (T. Makino, Jour. Jap. Bot. 5:27. 1928) - lvs. small, dense, 

 elliptical, obtuse at apex, shortly obtuse-cuneate at base, depressed, 

 serrate toward the apex, "concavoconvex" toward the upper surface, 

 petiole short; habitat Setsu Province, Arima, Japan; coll. 1928 from a 

 garden. Although it was reduced to the rank of botanical forma by 

 Rehder, Makino's plant should not be recognized at any botanical rank, 

 since it was from cult, origin and, therefore, is a cultivar. = CONVEXA, 

 BULLATA, f. bullata Rehder, BUXIFOLIA of Tingle, f. convexa 

 (Makino) Rehder. 



f. convexa (Makino) Rehder (A. Rehder, Jour. Arnold Arb. 12(4):Errata 

 and Addenda 309. 1931) - Rehder corrected his previous entry [Idem, 

 Jour. Arnold Arb. 12(1):73. 1931], which described f. bullata Rehder as 

 new. Rehder recognized, in the "Errata and Addenda," that his f. bullata 

 was synonymous with /. crenata var. convexa Makino [= CONVEXA]. 

 However, he complicated the issue in 1931 (p. 309) by incorrectly citing 

 var. convexa Makino as f. convexa Makino. By reducing var. convexa 

 Makino to forma rank, the 1931 p. 309 Rehder entry should have been 

 listed as /. crenata f. convexa (Makino) Rehder. Later [in Biblio. Trees 

 & Shrubs p. 402. 1949], A. Rehder recognized the error in his 1931 

 "Errata ,, and indicated f. convexa (Makino) Rehder was "grad. novT [= 

 new change in rank]. See f. bullata for descr. = CONVEXA, BULLATA, 

 f. bullata Rehder, BUXIFOLIA of Tingle, var. convexa Makino. 



CONVEXA (T. Makino, Jour. Jap. Bot. 5:27. 1928, as var. convexa) - 

 named from a pit. in cult. A. Rehder, Jour. Arnold Arb. 12(1):73. 1931, 

 and idem, Jour. Arnold Arb. 12(4):309. 1931, as f. convexa. See var. 

 convexa Makino and f. convexa (Makino) Rehder for descr. and 

 convoluted nomenclatural history of this female clone. Since it orig. in 

 cult., f. convexa is interpreted by the authors of this checklist as a 

 cultivar. At the Arnold Arboretum CONVEXA proved hardier than 

 /. crenata f. crenata and f. microphylla. D. Wyman, Amer. Nurseryman 

 27(9):116. 1960, and idem, Arnoldia 20(7):41. 1960, as convexa - 

 original pit. introd. 1919 into American Gardens by Arnold Arb.; 

 through distrib. by Arnold Arboretum CONVEXA became popular in 

 the nursery trade. The earliest U.S. nursery cat. entries of this name, at 

 any rank, are as follows: Bay State Nurs., North Abington,
