from f. latifolia, nor are other synonyms given. While Rehder' s forma 

 created a convenient grouping for many names, it is dubious at botanical 

 rank, since it is based on diverse cultivated material. = /. elliptica

LATIFOLIA (B. Boom, Nederl. Dendr., 4th ed., p. 337. 1959, as a cv. 

 distinct from ROTUNDIFOLIA) - lvs. 2-4 cm long, larger and more 

 rounded than MICROPHYLLA and CONVEXA; origin Japan; introd. 

 1865 to Netherlands by Siebold; with elliptica Hort. and major Hort. in 

 syn. S.-y. Hu, Amer. Hort. Mag. 49(4): 199. 1970, as a cultivar - lvs. 

 larger, 3/4"- 1 1/2" long, obtuse at apex; much cult, in Europe and U.S.

 large, glossy, 1 1/2" long, l/2"-5/8" wide; with syn. of fortunei, 

 grandifolia, macrophylla, major, rotundifolia. D. van Gelderen, 

 Dendroflora 1971(8):33. 1971 - as cv., with ROTUNDIFOLIA in syn. 

 H. Hume, Hollies, p. 106. 1953 - frequently cataloged by [U.S.] 

 nurseries as ROTUNDIFOLIA. R. Clark, Hortus Third, p. 591. 1973 - 

 with FORTUNEI in syn. From the above references and from 

 observations of plants labeled LATIFOLIA in the U.S. Nurseries, it is 

 apparent that many more than one clone have been named LATIFOLIA. 

 Many descriptions are missing or inadequate, origins are unknown, and 

 authentic materials are not extant. Some of the reported synonymy is 

 dubious and contradictory. Until a type specimen or authentic material is 

 determined or designated for this cultivar, the identity of LATIFOLIA 

 must remain confused. At cultivar rank the name LATIFOLIA is 

 illegitimate, since the name /. aquifolium LATIFOLIA has priority. =
