Check out Fortunei Albomarginata.

I have a couple of FA but the leaf shape is different, the borders are yellow and there’s no waviness to the leaves, but thank you for the suggestion.

Duh gary & djacobs that is what I meant to say. My only excuse is that it has been sweltering for days and my brain is clearly fried.

I constantly do the same thing with Forunei and undulata. I understand completely.

djacobs the one you describe with the yellow edge and different leaf shape is likely Fortunei Aureomarginata.

F Aureomarginata is actually what I do have, several of them, but as I described in my second, I am confident it’s not that. The leaf edges are actually scalloped, and FA does not have that.

I think Gary’s guess above is right.

alba is latin for WHITE

aureo or aurea is latin for gold/yellow ...

it is impossible for albomarginata ... aka white margin .. to be yellow .. period .. and vice versa ... in this case.. words mean things ... as they usually do... lol ...

undulata.. rectifolia.. ventricosa ... fortunei ... fluctuans .... etc ... were all thought to be species at one time... hence the latin inflection of the name ...scmid has reduced them all to cultivar status ...

ken

e.g. .. its a pdf.. and if you read far enough.. without your eyes bleeding with boredom.. he talks about reducing fortunei : http://www.hostalibrary.org/species/pdf/species_part1.pdf

Finally, I get it—duh! Undulata Albomarinata. The database description fits it perfectly! Thank you all! :-)
