As the combination O. Aquifolium is based on a non-valid name, it can 

 not be considered a valid binominal and has to be replaced by the com- 

 bination with the next oldest specific name which is "ilicifolia." This 

 change makes necessary the following new combinations, as Mouillefert 

 (I.e.) published only 0. ilicifolius var. myrtifolius and var. latifolius.

This variety of which plants are growing in this Arboretum differs from 

 the other described forms chiefly in its lower stature with slender spreading 

 branches, in the rather narrow, lanceolate leaves 7-12 cm. long and 1.5-3 

 cm. wide, gradually narrowed at the base into a very short petiole, and in 

 the slender and rather loose inflorescence measuring only about 3.5 cm. 

 through; the fragrant flowers are pale lilac with small orange eye and the 

 corolla is quite glabrous outside with the limb about 8 mm. across.
