"This was thought to be the first validly published name for this plant, ‘Silver Brocade’ having been published earlier but invalidly in an undated publication. However, an earlier valid publication for the cultivar name ‘Mori’ has subsequently been found for the same plant. A proposal to conserve ‘Boughton Silver’ has been tabled because of its more widespread use."
