Alphabetical List of Documented Epithets 

 of Cultivated Ilex opaca* 



A (Invalid) (Monthly Newsletter Louisiana Soc. Hort. Res. 4(11) :49. 

 1963, without descr.) 



Aalto (Hume, "Hollies," p. 49. 1953) — leaves slightly keeled, curved and 

 twisted in upper portion, very stiff, dark green above, small to medium, 

 margins recurved and deeply sinuate from base to apex, spines divari- 

 cate: male selected from the wild from the Aalto Farm, Cape Cod, 

 Massachusetts. W. Wheeler, Ashumet Farm, Falmouth, Massachusetts, 

 Cat. p. 4. 1960 — dense, upright; leaves dark, shiny, approaching the 

 English Holly; fruit brilliant and dark on very abundant, short stems; 

 female. Named for Nestor A. Aalto in West Barnstable, Massachusetts. 

 Because of the discrepancy of sex determination between the selector (as 

 a female) and the first publication of the name by Hume (as a male) , the 

 epithet cannot be equated to any particular clonal number within the 

 group. Misspelled as Alto.
