Default [IBC] the Kingsville which is not

There is nothing wrong with calling it "Kingsville boxwood." Everybody does; it
is a colloquial name. But your label, and the label at a show, should also read
Buxus microphylla 'Compacta.'
Same as "Blue Moss Cypress"
Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Boulevard.'
There are a lot of such things, people, too.
