This curious variety, long believed to be a distinct species, is now 

 known to have originated from the common form. It was met with 

 in cultivation in China and Japan many years ago, and forms perfectly 

 identical were subsequently raised from seed both in England and 

 France. During a visit to the Botanic Garden at Turin in the 

 autumn of 1860 Dr. Hooker had his attention drawn to a fine specimen 

 of Biota pendula^ bearing fruit in all respects like that of B. orientalis. 

 On inquiry it was proved to him that plants of B. orientalis which 

 were pointed out by the curator of the garden had been raised from 

 seeds of B. pendula, thus showing beyond all doubt that B. orientalis 

 and B. pendida are only forms of one species (Gardeners' Chronicle, 

 1861, p. 575).
