Guest guest Posted December 17, 2002 Report Share Posted December 17, 2002 botanically it is now called Simmondsia Chinensis, but it was first classified as Buxus Chinensis and then Simmondsia Californica. The Simmondsia Chinensis name was first used in the early 1900s, around 1915, I think. This is really common in botanical circles - heated debate over the taxonomic classification of plants can last for decades. On some of my garden websites it lists Buxus Chinensis as a synonym for Simmondsia Chinensis. I wouldn't be surprised if either was acceptable by the CFTA, since botanists themselves can't always decide...*grin* Jules > I have always been under the impression that the INCI for jojoba is > simmondsia chinensis...so is this a different variety or...? > > Merin > I never fail.
