Leaves medium to dark green, 8 cm x 5.3 cm, apex blunt pointed, bases round, thick. Habit slow, open growth. Different reading: ‘Yoibijin’. Synonyms: ‘Blushing Maiden’, ‘Lady Crutwell’. Corruptions of name: ‘Subijin’, ‘Subiji’, ‘Suibigen’, ‘Suibigine’, ‘Sui-Begin’, ‘Suibi­gin’ . In the USA the name Suibijin was erroneously applied to Kamo-honnami as ‘Amabilis’. In translation ‘Sui’ = intoxicated or elated and ‘bijin’ = beautiful woman, hence the synonym ‘Blushing Maiden’. A cultivar from a private family in Iyo City, named and released by Tokihiro Kōno in 1982.
