Other Evergreen Hollies 



Its distribution is wide, and it has been collected 

 in many places. Between 1853 and 1856 Mr C. 

 Wright gathered specimens in the Loo Choo 

 Islands; in 1859 Coll. C. Wilford found it in 

 Corea and so on. In 1862 Mr R. Oldham 

 collected a dwarf form with small, oval leaves, in 

 Nagasaki in Japan. A variety exists with yellow 

 fruits called I. integra var. leucoclada. Good 

 specimens of this, collected by the Rev. Pere 

 Faurie in 1889, are included in the collections in 

 the Kew Herbarium. Professor Sargent, in his 

 Forest Flora of Japan, says that he saw this variety 

 growing at the foot of Mount Hakkoda with I. 

 crenata and I. Sugeroki. 



When young I. integra is a rather slow grower 

 and a little tender, so it is not advisable to plant 

 it in very exposed places. It has been known 

 under the names of I. Aquifolium var. Bessoni 

 and I. integrifolia. The latter name must not be 

 confused with I. A. var. integrifolia, which is 

 quite another plant. 



I. latifolia, Z 1 ^^^=magnoliaefolia, Tarajo 

 and " Magnolia-leaved Holly." In the Garden 

 and Forest for March 1893 Professor Sargent 

 describes this as being " probably the hand- 

 somest evergreen tree that grows in Japan." 

 Unfortunately it is somewhat tender, and only 

 grows successively in the warmer parts of our 

 Isles. At Kew it has lived our-of-doors for 

 many years, but growth is very slow. When
