(Bullata Group) (Hortus Third, p. 591. 1976) - "best considered a large 

 group of clones generally characterized by bullate, convex lvs." 

 Rejected here as a group name on the basis that the cultivar names 

 included in this group are not listed in Hortus Third. While there are 

 many cultivars with convex and bullate leaves, this characteristic is not 

 always clear-cut. Leaf variations from strongly convex to flat occur 

 between the cultivars. Furthermore, the group name Bullata is derived 

 from f. bullata Rehder, which was invalidated many years ago [cf. 

 A. Rehder, Jour. Arnold Arb. 12:(errata and addenda) 1931]. To avoid 

 confusion the word "bullata" in any form should not be used in the 

 cultivar nomenclature of/, crenata, except in syn.
