ICNCP Name: 'Kara-kurenai'

Formerly 'Kara kurenai'

The International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants (ICNCP) establishes the rules and regulations for proper naming of plants. When different, the cultivar database displays the correct(ed) ICNCP name, rather than its previous cultivar name.

Japanese Maple Classification:

Hardiness Zone (for guidance only):

唐紅, Kara-kurenai, means "Chinese Crimson." Although it can be argued that this should, under strict Modified Hepburn rules, be unhyphenated as a single concept, in practice to do so would violate the spirit of ICNCP directives, which specify hyphenation to increase clarity. Further, there is no single "Chinese Red" upon which to hang our figurative hats. (ED)
