ICNCP Name: 'Shiro-tae'

Formerly 'Shiro tae'

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

We have only kana for this name, and the Katakana less smudged: シロタエ, Shiro-tae. The Checklist 1st ed. incorrectly trascribed this is "tai" for "tae" in Nakajima. Without a kanji spelling it is impossible to be sure, but it most likely is 白妙, Shiro-taw, meaning "White Wonder." (ED)

Date of Origin if known:

1782
