ICNCP Name: 'Koi-Kiyohime'

Formerly 'Koi kiyohime'

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: 
Palmatum Group

Hardiness Zone (for guidance only):

5 to 9
(Kôi kiyohime, Checklist 1st ed.) 濃清姫, Koi-Kiyohime, means "Dark-colored Kiyohime", referencing the well-known cultivar. See Kiyohime for further explanation. The diacritical in the original checklist seems to be in error, and is corrected here. Since Kiyohime is a proper name, it should be capitalized. (ED)
