| L. styraciflua 'Lane
Roberts' Wisley (W823165 2 entries A and B) (2); Starborough; Hilliers; Gammon; Herbert |
Autumn foliage rich black crimson-red
with comparatively smooth bark (Santamour)
Selected as a good form by Lane Roberts, a friend of Harold Hillier and a gynaecologist in Hertfordshire from plants supplied by Hillier. First listed by Hillier in 1971 Beautiful foliage; with five very toothed lobes; autumn colour crimson red; large habit; branches fairly smooth (Adeline) The original plant is still grown at Hilliers but on very poor dry soil. All material for propagation by Hiliers has been taken from this plant but plants grown in other parts of the Arboretum are somewhat different probably due to more favourable conditions. In impoverished soil it colours in August but on clay soil much later. Material has been micropropagated which might explain differences in appearance. It is also possible that at some stage material for grafting was mislabelled in some nursery elsewhere. This plant does however appear to be very much affected by the conditions in which it is grown. |

styraciflua'Manon' Hilliers |
Leaf cream edged and spotted and somewhat
deformed. Variegation less definite than in 'Silver
King'. Hilliers received this from Paris under a different name. None of the Italian imports have variegation. |
| L.
styraciflua'Moonbeam' Windsor |
Introduced in 1976 by Duncan and Davies,
New Zealand. In N America by 1991 but rare. Summer foliage
blushed with pale yellow. Autumn colour red, yellow
and purple (Gammon) Large five-lobed leaves with few indentations, pale yellow or very clear green in spring becoming bright yellow or rose in autumn (Adeline) Spectacular buttery cream variegated form, each leaf varying (Santamour) New growth a good soft yellow. |
| L.
styraciflua 'Moraine' Windsor; Wisley (W943636) |
ex The Siebenthaler Co Ohio 1982 catalogue.
Hardy with outstanding autumn colour "turning to a myriad
of colours including a procession of colour change throughout
the tree". Hardy to -210. Plant Patented in USA. Rapid growth with corky twigs but never colours at Windsor. Foliage almost "fleshy". Outstanding red autumn colour; twigs not corky (Gammon). |
| L.
styraciflua'Palo
Alto' Windsor; Wisley (W915637) Gammon |
Saratoga Horticultural Institute, California,
USA 1961. Pyramidal tree with bright orange-red autumn
foliage (Santamour). Young leaves tinted purple with red petiole; autumn foliage orange and red (Adeline). Selected in 1954 as a street tree in Palo Alto; common, autumn foliage sometimes with clear yellow as well as consistent brilliant orange-red (Gammon). Upright pyramidal habit and rather small leaf. |
| L. styraciflua'Parasol' Gammon |
Rather shrubby plant 6ft tall and 6-8ft
diameter like an umbrella; very good autumn colour after
21 years (Gammon) Very small leaf. Globose crown, leaves deeply cut, in autumn leaves become red/carmine and violet (Adeline) |
| L.
styraciflua 'Pendula'
Starborough (2); Windsor; Wisley (W950934); Gammon |
Mentioned by Rehder as f. pendula in 1939 based on a single plant found in Arkansas in 1935 (Santamour) Windsor plant has habit somewhat similar to that of 'Parasol' from Gammon but other examples were probably all the same. Degree of "drooping" is variable and tips of branches droop rather than the whole. Habit erect Foliage as in type but horizontal branches give a decorative appearance (Adeline) |
| L.
styraciflua'Penwood' Windsor |
Very little information except that it came as a seedling from Doug Harris and named for his nursery |
| L.
styraciflua 'Rotundiloba'
(syn. L. obtusiloba) Windsor; Starborough |
Windsor plant received as 'Rotundifolia'
which is almost certainly a typing error. Leaf lobes rounded but some leaves may be more pointed on same plant; variable Discovered c. 1930 near Cameron, North Carolina, USA by R E Wicker. Propagated c. 1942 but rarely sold until 1980s. Autumn colour yellow, crimson, burgundy and purple. Fruitless. May not be hardy in far north because of its late dormancy (Gammon) Original because of 3 main lobes rounded. Autumn colours orange. Very rare because difficult to propagate (Adeline) |
