ICNCP Name: 'Yamato-tokiwa-nishiki'

Formerly 'Yamato tokiwa nishiki'

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.

大和常盤錦, Yamato-tokiwa-nishiki, means "Japan's Native Tokiwa-nishiki." Yano produced this cultivar from 'Tokiwa-nishiki', and although that plant is already Japanese, listed by Sekihin Binran in 1882, Yano-san may, rightly, have felt that the Nara Maple World park, where the plant was produced, was the beating heart of Japanese Maples in Japan and worldwide. This contemporary version of Tokiwa-nishiki features an additional yellow component in the variegation to go along with fine Autumn colors of yellow and red. (ED)
