Li et al. [HortScience 37(3):595-598. 2002] conclude from DNA sequence data and morphological evidence that all weeping katsura selections are phylogenetically derived from C. japonicum, not C. magnificum, nor are they of hybrid origin. They proposed the new cultivar-group C. japonicum Weeping Group to include all katsura clones of weeping or pendulous habit
