latifolia on the other. It differs from " Golden 

 Queen " by having the bark of the young wood 

 of a reddish purple hue very similar to that of 

 aurea marginata latifolia. The leaves are fully 

 as large as those of " Golden Queen " and very 

 similar in shape, the spines being very strong and 

 divaricate. The disk is dark green, blotched 

 with grey green, the margin golden and irregular 

 in outline usually narrower than that of " Golden 

 Queen." It is a female variety and in this 

 resembles the large-leaved golden-edged form. 



I. A. aurea regina pendula = " Gold Weep- 

 ing " and pendula aurea marginata. A fine 

 weeping, golden variegated Holly belonging to 

 the purple-barked section. The leaves are about 

 2 1 inches long by i J inches wide, ovate, or oblong- 

 ovate, very strongly divaricate, the spines being 

 stout, tolerably equal in size, and set at moderate 

 distances though occasionally widely separated. 

 The disk is conspicuously mottled with yellowish 

 or greyish green on a dark green ground and the 

 yellow margin, though irregular, is well marked 

 and broadish, sometimes extending half way 

 across the leaf. Mr Moore kept the two names 

 aurea pendula and aurea regina pendula as 

 distinct varieties owing to a slight difference in 

 the spinyness of the leaves. 



I. A. aurifodina = aurifodina marginata, croceo- 

 fuscum, aureum scoticum, and " Smudge Holly." 

 These names according to Moore represent the
