212. Aquifoliu3i T. Ad. Ilex L. auct. name 

 posterior, and of an Oak. The Ilex of the Au-

 Aquifolium Raf. cal. rotate 4-5dent. cor. rota-

 types will be Aq, crocea, japonica ? and other 

 Japanese sp. if with 4 stigmas, with the various 

 sp. blended in Ilex aquifolium of Authors, 

 which are 5 at least, all seen alive.
