f. watanabeana Makino (T. Makino, Jour. Jap. Bot. 1(4): 12. 1917, as var. 

 typica f. watanabeana) - lvs. coriaceous; fr. greenish-pale yellow 

 ("viridiflavescent"); native to Bizen Province, "Yataka-Yama," Japan; 

 named for Toyodzi Watanabe [a noted Japanese botanist]. S.-y. Hu, 

 Nat'l Hort. Mag. 36(1):49. 1957 - lvs. "papery" [?], oblong-elliptic, 

 1"-1 1/4" long; native to southern Japan and Okinawa. Fruit color was 

 not mentioned by Hu. Idem, Amer. Hort. Mag. 49(4):200. 1970 - fr. 

 greenish yellow; introd. to U.S. late 1950's. E. Griffith and H. Hyland, 

 USDA Pit. Inventory 164:45. 1966, as /. crenata - (fr. yellow) PI 

 231948; pit. obtained by J. Creech from Kyushu Agr. Exp. Sta., 

 Kurume Fukuoka, Japan 1956. PI 231948 was propagated and widely 

 distributed from USDA Pit. Introd. Sta., Glenn Dale, Maryland. PI 

 231948 is not identified as f. watanabeana in PI Inventories or in Glenn 

 Dale distributions. Also not indicated in the PI Inventories is the fact 

 that when PI 231948 was introduced its seed was also introduced as PI 

 231948-S. Plants were grown at Glenn Dale from this seed and were 

 also widely distributed from Glenn Dale. Probably all named selections 

 of yellow-fruited /. crenata originating in U.S. are from seed or 

 seedlings of PI 231948-S. The single female clone also represented by 

 PI 231948 was propagated and distributed to the trade from the USDA 

 Pit. Introd. Sta., Glenn Dale, Maryland. Propagations of this pit. were 

 also grown at the National Arboretum and distributed as NA 10815. 

 According to authors' correspondence with T. Tamura in 1969, 

 Makino' s description was based on a plant that was from the garden of 

 Chikushi Harada. Harada's pit. was originally coll. from the wild in the 

 town of Uematsu-Cho, Nischikuma-Gum District, Hagano-Ken 

 Prefecture, Japan, by his father Chushiro Harada. Since 1956, additional 

 seed off. watanabeana has been brought into the U.S. from Kyushu 

 Agr. Exp. Sta. In 1975, seed from cultivated material of "f.fructo- 

 albcT was offered in the Seed Exchange List (1976), Aritaki Arb., 

 Japan.
