ICNCP Name: 'Sainan-in-ukon'

Formerly 'Sainan in yukon'

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):

5 to 9

西南院右近, Sainan-in-ukon, it means "the Right-Side Guard at Sainan-in", perhaps selected from the gardens at Seinan-in, the "South-West Temple", a temple part of the larger Kaima-dera in Katsuragi, Nara Prefecture. The temple may date from as early as the 7th century CE, although formal records only exist starting in the 12th. This ukon has no relation to the famous earlier maple 'Ukon', spelled 鬱金 and meaning "Turmeric." Note, the Checklist 1st ed. incorrectly trascribed the name 'Ukon' as 'Yukon.' (ED)
