ICNCP Name: 'Ura-jiro-itaya-ki-fu'

Formerly 'Urajiro itaya kifu'

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):

5a to 8b

裏白板屋黄斑, Ura-jiro-itaya-ki-fu, means "Painted Maple with Yellow Spotted, Abaxially Glaucus Leaves." "Abaxially Glaucus" means that the leaf undersides exhibit a white or blueish-white coloration of bloom. Itaya, Painted Maple, is the common name for Acer pictum. While the epithet may seem over-hyphenation, it is required for clarity by ICNCP rules: urajiro as a stand-alone word means Gleichenia glauca (japonica) and is thus inapplicable, and as discussed elsewhere kifu by itself could easily be confused with the standard compound word for "noblewoman."
