A great number of varieties are in cult., of which the following are the most remarkable: Var. pendula,Lodd. Fig. 1476. With long, pendulous branches, the larger limbs mostly horizontaly spreading. G.C. III. 51:114. G.W. 15, p. 662. B.F 1907,
A form with very dark purple lvs. and of compact habit is var. Riversii. Hort. There are other forms, differing in the shade of purple, as var. cuprea, Hort., and also some with rosy pink variegated lvs. Var. purpurea pendula, Hort., has purple lvs. and pendulous branches, but is of slow growth. Var. Zlatia, Spaeth, has yellow foliage. Var. heterophylla, Loud. (var. asplenifolia, Lodd.). Lvs. deeply cut, often almost to the midrib, into narrow lobes. A very graceful variety, forming a dense and low, shrubby tree.Less important varieties, but sometimes grown,are the following: Var. cristata, Lodd., with deeply toothed, curled, small and clustered lvs.: of slow growth. Var. incisa, Hort. Similar to var. heterophylla, but lvs. less deeply cut. Var. macrophylla, Hort. lvs. large, to 5 in. long. Var.quercifolia, Schelle (var. quercoides, Hort.). With deeply toothed and sinuate, rather narrow lvs. Var. quercoides, Pers., often confused with var. quercifolia, is a form with dark and rough, oak-like bark.
