ICNCP Name: 'Ryokurin-zan'

Formerly 'Ryokurin zan'

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: 
Matsumurae Group

Hardiness Zone (for guidance only):

5 to 9
緑林山, Ryokurin-zan is likely a metaphorical reading rather than a real mountain, it means "Green Forest Mountain." The entire reading is on'yomi or Sino-Japanese, so we have Ryoku (kun'yomi is midori=green), rin (hayashi), san (yama). San becomes Zan because of the rendaku consonant change. (ED)
