Some Japanese scholars argue that the 2 types: オモテスギ Omote sugi (Pacific type) & ウラスギ Ura sugi (Japanese sea type), recognized in Japan should perhaps be considered either as varieties or subspecies instead. To our knowledge, no varietal name (a preferred option) has been proposed. so far, but English common names could be, based on past Japanese descriptions:
"Round-headed Japanese cedar" or "Straight-leaved Japanese cedar" for オモテ, and "Conical crowned Japanese cedar" and "Curved-leaved Japanese cedar" for ウラ.
