This form differs from the type in the deep purple color of the hairs of 

 its fruiting panicle. The form mentioned in Garden, lxxxv. 283 (1921) 

 under the name Rhus Cotinus purpureus and described as having purple 

 leaves, is unknown to me, but if it is distinct from R. Cotinus purpureas 

 Dupuy-Jamain, as it appears to be, it should receive a new name.

As the name /. elliptica is preoccupied by the Peruvian /. elliptica 

 Humbold, Bonpland & Kunth, Nov. Gen, Spec. vn. 54 (70) (1825), this 

 interesting Ilex may bear the name of Mr. W. J. Bean who first pointed out 

 that it is very likely a hybrid between I . Aquifoliumlj. and /. dipyrena Wall.

1 This synonym is marked with a query by Watson and Loesener, but as /. vomitoria grows 

 near Houston and is the only evergreen shrub there which has a close resemblance to 

 Oreophila vir/rfifolia Nuttall= Pack i.sti ma myrsinites Raf., there can be little doubt that 

 Scheele T s name should be referred here.
