a valid LONGIFOLIA cultivar is conceivable, but it is exceedingly 

 difficult to authenticate. = var. longifolia Goldring, var. longifolia of 

 Lavallee, f. longifolia in part. 



f. longipedunculata S.-y. Hu (S.-y. Hu, Jour. Arnold Arb. 30:324. 1949, as 

 a new forma) - lvs. broad; staminate cymes with peduncles 10 mm long, 

 pedicels 2-3 mm long, fruiting pedicels 10-12 mm long. S.-y. Hu, Nat'l 

 Hort. Mag. 36(1 ):49. 1957 - elongate peduncles; a var. probably not 

 introd. to U.S. = subsp. fukasawana (Makino) Murata, var.fukasawana 

 Makino. 



LOYCE NELSON (Plants Growing in Conservatories and Gdns., 

 Longwood Gdns., Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, p. 90. May 1965, 

 without descr.). Tom Dodd Nurs., Semmes, Alabama, cat. p. 13. 1966- 

 67, without descr. Distinct horizontal branching, low growing, twice as 

 wide as tall, not as low as REPANDENS of Dodd, but lower growing 

 than EDWIN DOZIER; lvs. ovate, smaller than EDWIN DOZIER; 

 male. Named for a Baptist Missionary and introd. by T. Dodd, Jr. By 

 providing a descr., the authors are the first to legitimately publish the 

 name LOYCE NELSON. 



LUSTGARTEN New name. (Bair Lustgarten Nurs., Middle Island, Long 

 Island, New York, cat. p. 43. fall 1976-sp. 1977, as LATIFOLIA 

 Lustgarten strain) - upright; lvs. deep green, elegant; best evergreen 

 hedge; developed at Bair Lustgarten Nurs. about 1946; "the hardiest of 

 any Ilex." The authors are the first to publish the name LUSTGARTEN, 

 a reformulation of the originator's designation "LATIFOLIA Lustgarten 

 strain." 



LUTEA (Foxborough Nurs., Street, Maryland, cat. p. 8. fall 1986, without 

 descr.). 



var. luteo-variegata Regel (E. Regel, Gartenflora 13:37, 39. 1886) - lvs. 

 small, curved, obovate-oval, crenate, golden yellow-speckled; cult, in the 

 Czar's Garden, St. Petersburg [Leningrad], Russia, from plants sent from 

 Japan by C. Maximowicz in 1863. C. Maximowicz, Mem. Acad. Sci. St. 

 Petersbourgh 29(3):35. 1881 - the only record found indicated that plants 

 of/, crenata with yellow or white variegated-leaves were cultivated in 

 Japanese gardens [which he probably saw during his visit to Japan 

 1861-63]. Apparently Maximowicz did not name any of these plants. 

 A. Rehder in L. Bailey, Stand. Cyclop. Hort. 2:1640. 1915 - lvs. spotted 

 yellow, obovate; with var. aweo-variegata Hort. in syn. Idem, Man. 

 Cult. Trees and Shrubs, 1st ed., p. 544. 1927 - lvs. spotted yellow; with 

 var. aweo-variegata Goldring and var. variegata Bean in syn. Idem, 

 Man. Cult. Trees and Shrubs, 2d ed., p. 550. 1940 - same as 1st ed., 

 except Nicholson is listed instead of Bean as author citation for 

 variegata. We note that Rehder published a rank change of Regel's var. 

 luteo-variegata to f. luteo-variegata in 1908 (see f. luteo-variegata 

 (Regel) Rehder in this checklist). Rehder cited luteo-variegata as a var. 

 in Bailey's Stand. Cyclop. Hort. 2:(1915) and in the 1st (1927) and 2d
