I've never heard of it before, and can't find any reference to it in the
RHS Index of Garden Plants, or in Krussman's Manual of Cultivated 
Broad-leaved Trees & Shrubs.  Even Rehder makes no mention of it...

However -- I did come across a seed source at 

   http://www.sheffields.com/woody2.htm

If you find out that it's also known by another name, please share it
with us!
