CHAP. XXXIV. AQUIFOLIA\CEXZ. J LEX. 517 
ornamental tree or shrub in gardens; is employed for making birdlime; and 
the wood is used in turnery and cabinet-making. It is propagated in the 
same manner as the common holly. There is a plant of this species in the 
garden_at Walton House 25 ft. high; a large one at Syon; and many fine 
plants at White Knights. Plants, in London, are Is. 6d. each; at New 
York, 40 cents, and seeds 1 dollar a quart. 
Varieties. There are none in the British gardens; but Rafinesque mentions 
I. 0. 2 macrodon, with remote long teeth; I. o. 3 latifolia, with broad ovate 
leaves, rounded at the base, and small teeth; I. 0. 4 acuminata, with narrow 
and very sharp leaves; and I. 0. 5 globosa, a small plant, with a globose 
foliage. These names are not in Prince’s Catalogue ; but we hope some 
collector will procure them from their native habitats, and send them te 
England.

Spec. Char., ie Leaves ovate, sinuately toothed, spiny, coriaceous, glabrous. Stipules awl-shaped. 
Peduncles loosely branched, bearing many flowers, and placed in a scattered manner above the 
axils of theleaves. Teeth of the calyx acute. Fruit yellow. (Dec. Prod., ii. p. 14.) Described by 
Pursh as an evergreen shrub, of lower growth than J, opaca ; found in Carolina, in shady sandy 
woods, with whitish flowers, and yellowish red berries. It produces its flowersin May and June, 
and was introduced into England in 1811. We have not seen this sort, but think it, in all proba- 
bility, only a variety. Seeds of it are advertised in Mr. Charlwood’s Catalogue at 4s. a quart, 
B. Leaves toothed, serrated, or crenate, but not spiny.

Spec. Char., §c. Leaves ovate-lanceolate, sharply sawed, flat; the midribs, 
petioles, and branchlets glabrous; the flowers upon lateral corymbosely 
branched peduncles. (Dec. Prod., ii. p. 14.) An evergreen low tree, from 
8 ft. to 12 ft. in height; a native of Lower Carolina and Florida, in shady 
swamps; and introduced into England in 1700. The flowers are small, and 
of a yellowish white; they are produced in August, and are succeeded by 
round red berries rather smaller than those of the common holly. The 
berries continue on the trees the most part of the winter, untouched by 
birds ; and, being of a bright red, and large in proportion to the leaves, 
which are about the size of those of the common arbutus, they make a fine 
appearance, both in their native country and in 184. 
England. The leaves and young shoots of this 
species are used by the Indians for the same pur- 
poses as those of J. vomitoria and I. Dahoon. 
This species is not unfrequent in British collec- 
tions: there is a specimen of it, 10 ft. high, in 
the arboretum of Messrs. Loddiges, and a small g 
one in the garden of the Horticultural Society. % 
It is commonly propagated by seeds; but it will 
also strike by cuttings, or it may be grafted on the 
common holly. Plants, in the London nurseries, 
cost 2s. 6d. each; at New York, } dollar, and 
seeds 2 dollars a quart.
