A fine, hardy, ever- 
green Holly, from the 
North of China. Intro- 
duced by .Messrs. St an dish 
and Co. 
/. CO via; foliis oblongis 
coriaceis marginatis basi obtu- 
sis apice truncatis in pianta 
vegetiore grosse sinuato- 
deatatis spinosis in adulta 
3-cornibus integrisque, um- 
bellis axillaribus sessilibus, 
baccis 4-pyrenis. 
WI 
service of the Horticultural Society, he 
found this in flower somewhere in the neigh- 
bourhood of Shanghae,in the month of April. 
During his present visit to that country he 
again met with it, and in fruit, at a place 
called Kin-tang. It is a very remarkable 
plant, and promises to be, to English gar- 
dens, of much importance, on account of 
its hard, dark green, evergreen foliage and 
large berries. The Jeaves are almost always 
furnished with three strong spines at the 
end, but when the plant is young there are 
added one or two more on each side. In 
the old plant the latter wholly disappear, 
while the end spines will occasionally 
extend, turn up their edges, and assume the 
appearance of strong bonis. 
65. Ilex microcakpa. Another 
hardy evergreen Holly from the North 
of China." Introduced by Messrs. 
Standish and Co. (Fig. 28.) 
J. mkrocarpa; foliis ovaiibus integerranifl 
petiolatis utrinque acutis glabris, umbeliis 
pedunculatis petiolo brerioribus, fructibus 
tetrapyrenis.
