were coll. in the wild in elevations from 120 m to 1 ,200 m by J. Creech 

 1961 from Aomori Prefecture, Honshu, Japan. These plants were 

 variable in habit from prostrate to vigorous upright and also variable in 

 leaf size and site preferences. The 1933 subsp. combination, /. crenata 

 subsp. radicans, of Tatewaki is invalid for lack of a descr. The 

 basionym, /. radicans, was not validated with a descr. until 1936 by 

 Hara, as /. radicans Nakai ex Hara, Bot. Mag. Tokyo 50:187. 1936. = 

 PALUDOSA of Krussmann, var. paludosa (Nakai) Hara, RADICANS, 

 /. radicans, I. radicans var. paludosa, not PALUDOSA of Clarendon. 



var. radicans (Nakai) Murai (H. Murai, Prelim. Rep. Fl. Towada & 



Hakkoda, p. 69. 1935, without descr.) - invalid new combination. Based 

 on /. radicans Nakai (a nomen nudum), Rep. Veg. Mt. Apoi, p. 37. 1930. 

 The 1935 varietal combination by Murai of/, crenata var. radicans 

 (another nomen nudum) is invalid because /. radicans as a species was 

 not validated until 1936 by Hara (/. radicans Nakai ex Hara, Bot. Mag. 

 Tokyo 50:187. 1936). J. Ohwi, Fl. Jap., lsted. p. 733. 1953 - referred to 

 var. radicans without citing the basionym. Ohwi, however, corrected 

 this omission in Bull. Sci. Mus. Tokyo 33:78. 1953, 9 years after Hara 

 validated, with a description and basionym, /. radicans var. paludosa in 

 Jour. Jap. Bot. 20:189. 1944. Ohwi, Fl. Jap. (English ed.), p. 600. 1955 - 

 var. radicans cited as syn. of var. paludosa (Nakai) Hara. E. Griffith, 

 USDA Pit. Inventory 163:186, 188, 189. 1955, as var. radicans - PI 

 227531, coll. in Mopporo Nat'l. Forest, Hokkaido, Japan; var. radicans 

 PI 227569 and var. radicans PI 227576, coll. from the wild 1955 in 

 Aomori Prefecture, Honshu, Japan, by J. Creech, prostrate, lvs. small; 

 female. These are the earliest of many USDA PI collections of this taxon 

 from Japan. = PALUDOSA of Krussmann, var. paludosa (Nakai) Hara, 

 subsp. radicans (Nakai) Tatewaki, RADICANS, /. radicans, I. radicans

RADICANS (J. Floyd, Holly Evaluation at Hort. Gdns. of Clemson 



University, Clemson, South Carolina Agr. Exp. Sta. Tech. Bui. 1050:19. 

 1974) - spreading, dwarf, dense, compact; lvs. larger than most 

 /. crenata lvs. Probably a sdlg. clone of var. radicans that originated 

 from USDA Pit. Introd. distribution. Illegitimate, since the name is in 

 Latin form. Possibly could be renamed, registered, described, and 

 published as a sdlg. cultivar of var. paludosa. 



RECURVIFOLIA (Greenbrier Farms Nurs., Norfolk, Virginia, cat. p. 40. 

 1971-72) - excellent, spreading; intended to replace CONVEXA; male; 

 (Bennett Hybrid Group). Illegitimate, since the name is in Latin form. 



RED LION (Wister et al., Holly Soc. Amer. Bui. 6:38. 1953, without 

 descr.) - sel. 1934 by P. du Pont, Longwood Gdns., Kennett Square, 

 Pennsylvania. Wilmat Hollies, Gladwyne, Pennsylvania, cat. p. 14. 1959 

 - "fine as a rock garden specimen." Male. Similar to and sometimes 

 confused with HELLERI, which is female. Propagated by Earl 

 Hamilton, Red Lion Nurs. After a great deal of comparison, Red Lion
