In doing my "wood ID through anatomy" article, I found that of the 2 "known" species and one unknown species that I have under the common name "boxwood", there is considerable confusion. The specifics are at the very bottom of this page:

Since there are at least 88 species from 41 genera that have the word "boxwood" as all or part of one or more of their common names, some confusion is inevitable.
I'm really interested in two things.
1) What species, if you know the botanical name, do YOU call "boxwood"
2) Do you have any "boxwood", whatever species it is, that you could send me a small piece of so that I can compare it to what I already have.
Thanks,
Paul
