Nurs. decided that there was essentially no difference between RED 

 LION and HELLERI, so discontinued propagating and selling RED 

 LION. However, the names are not synonymous, since the plants are of 

 different cultivated origin, different sex, and are not the identical clone. 



REFLEXA SUPREME (Stephens Nurs., Semmes, Alabama, cat. fall 

 1966, without descr., in syn. under HETZII). (Rovex Hybrid Group). = 

 HETZII, GLOBOSA ROTUNDIFOLIA, GLOBOSA 

 ROTUNDIFOLIA HETZII. 



f. rehderiana (S.-y. Hu, Nat'l Hort. Mag. 36(1):64. 1957, in the 



formulation of the name var. longifolia f. rehderiana MICROPHYLLA) 

 - low compact; lvs. small, shiny, elliptic, acute at both ends, 4 minute 

 teeth on each side. Seemingly, f. rehderiana is described by Hu only as 

 a single clone, in the sense of MICROPHYLLA. However, if her 

 intention was to erect a new botanical forma, her descr. of f. 

 rehderiana lacks a Latin diagnosis, a designation of a type, and data on 

 natural distribution. While this botanical forma may have been 

 described and published elsewhere, the above reference is the only one 

 found to date. 



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

 under the name "Spreading." Howell Nurs., Knoxville, Tennessee, cat. 

 p. 6. 1939, without descr. - listed as "Spreading"; possibly intended as a 

 common name and not as a cultivar name. Tom Dodd Nurs., Semmes, 

 Alabama, cat. p. 20. 1953-54 - very low, spreading; lvs. flat, closely 

 spaced. Flattest growing of all /. crenata cultivars; male. = 

 PROSTRATA of Gilmore, SPREADING of Howell (not SPREADING
