Ilex, Linn. Name originally from the Celtic,

 the prickly leaves. Linn. 4, Or. 3, Nat. Or., 

 Aquifuliaceoz. A genus of trees and shrubs 

 well known for their elegant character, ever- 

 green prickly foliage, and their adaptation to 

 lawns. Many varieties have resulted from cul- 

 ture, which are distinguished by the variega- 

 tion and size of the leaves, and the colour of 

 the fruit. They grow well in any soil, but 

 best in a dryish situation, where there is ;i 

 good depth of loam. They are increased by 

 budding or grafting on the common kinds ; but 

 cuttings of the ripened wood will root under a 

 glass, in a sheltered situation. /. paraguinsis 

 is used as tea, and yields the famous beverage 

 called Mats' in Brazil. Synonymes: 1, Ilex 

 nata ; 2, I. dipyrina, Dentoni. See Myglnda
