480. ILEX LATIFOLIA. A hardy evergreen tree, with long shining leaves, greenish flowers, and 
small red axillary berries. Said to be a native of Japan. Belongs to Aguifoils. (Fig. 240.) 
This is a stout, stiff, evergreen, hardy tree, of great beauty. Every part is morte free from hair. The shoots, which 
p green or tinged with violet, are 
phrodite, pale green, in very elon axillary 
racemes, about as dm as the pee and 
supported by etis ovate, acute g, car- 
tilaginous bra The berries, whith ripen 
in February, are in short compact clusters, of

esign: 
No-Ko-Giri ; but, if € statement of that botanist can be t 
his plant must be different, for he says the leaves are ini الب‎ 
and three inches long by two broad, which gives them an entirely 
different outline from the species before us, pm hake seid of 
whose leaves is not three by two, but six or n by two, a 
very material difference. TT in in the $ ed of any 
authentic evidence, we leave the garden e as we find it, espe- 
cially since it i is probably the Z. latifolia of pate and Siebold 
(Flore japonice familie naturales, sect. i., p.40), or T. macrop: kylla 
of Blume. According to the first of these authors, the leaves in 
the wild plant vary in form, being, on the same bran ch, oblong, 
ovate, or elliptical, acuminate or obtuse, and finely serrated, or 
slightly crenate. 
x Ta L The "a nearly approaches the Zlex Perado of the Hortus 
a CM i Kewensis, a native of the Canaries, figured in the Botanical 
MS CN E Magazine, t. 4079, under Webb and Berthellots name of 7. — another very vens 
"s NN hardy shrub, differing from this in bearing clusters of large white flowers, aud frui 
NY than twice the size of that of the present plant. There is no doubt pus this Z. lati ifolia, of which 
we believe two varieties are in cultivation, and which is plentiful in the nurseries, is as eis 
as the common holly itself. 
481. EverxiA Uexr. Hooker. (alias Myrtus Ugni Molina; alias Murtilla Feuillée.) A 
beautiful evergreen bush, with globular pink and white flowers, and fragrant foliage. Belongs to 
Myrtleblooms, Native of Chili. Introduced by Messrs. Veitch. 
It forms a charming shrub, native of South Chili and the islands, abundant in Chiloe and in the Bay of Valdivia, 
where the natives call it Ugni, and the Spaniards Murtilla or Myrtilla ; and the habit is not unlike that of our European 
Myrtle. Introduced by Messrs. Veitch and Son, through their collector, Mr. William Lobb. It proves quite hardy in 
their Nursery at Exeter, whence we were favoured with the flowering specimen here re figured in July, 1851. The flowers 
are fragrant, and the leaves when bruised are no less so ; which ensures its being prized by all cultivators. A shru 
varying in height, according to Mr. Bridges, from two to ا‎ feet, copiously branched ; branches erecto-patent, dotad 
with brown bark, young shoots downy. Leaves copious, opposite, spreading, on very short petioles, thick, coriaceous,
