ICNCP Name: 'Wasure-ji'

Formerly 'Wasure ji'

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
わすれじ, Wasure-ji is the spelling we have from Nakajima, and given that there is no Wasure Temple, we can take this very clearly to mean 忘じ. "ji" is the negation particle, which leaves us with a nice maple epitihet: "Unforgettable." (ED)

Date of Origin if known:

1782
Origin if known:

Nakajima
