var. elliptica Hort. (A. Rehder, Mitt. Deut. Dendr. Gesel. 1908:161. 1908) - 

 as an English garden form; in syn. of var. typica Loesener and with syn. 

 var. major., var. latifolia, and I.fortunei, based on material examined by 

 Rehder from Kew Herbarium. B. Boom, Nederl. Dendr., 3d ed., p. 310. 

 1949 - in syn. of var. latifolia Goldring and with var. major Hort.; ibid., 

 4th ed., p. 337. 1959 - syn. of LATIFOLIA along with var. major Hort. 

 and I.fortunei Hort. Rehder, Man. Cult. Trees and Shrubs, p. 544. 1927 - 

 in syn. of var. latifolia Goldring, the typical form, with var. typica 

 Loesener, and var. major Hort. in syn. The name var. major Hort. is used 

 as a synonym of numerous clones. However, the primary current 

 application of var. major Hort. seems to be as a synonym of 

 LATIFOLIA. Certainly, /. elliptica Siebold ex Miquel and probably var. 

 elliptica Hort. are synonyms of/, crenata var. crenata, the typical wild 

 variety expression.
