Halesia carolina = Halesia tetraptera these days. I think H. tetraptera is the rename.

Sometimes H. monticola is relegated to varietal status as H. tetraptera var. monticola. We need more taxonomists, not less, and get this sorted out.

Try as many as you can lay your hands on, Bob. I think Scott has the germination method down to where you could just send him pods and he'll return you vigorous seedlings in six months.

If you are just insane about the whole effort, then you need to get some two-winged silverbell as well (Halesia diptera, especially H. diptera var. magniflora). I can lay my hands on scads of seeds of this one.
