upright, full, and fairly rapid growing; lvs. rich dark green. = 

 SCHWOEBEL'S UPRIGHT, EXCELSA, EXCELSA SCHWOEBEL, 

 EXCELSA UPRIGHT. 



EXCELSA (LaBar's Rhododendron Nurs., Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, cat. 

 p. 2. sp. 1958) - dense, slow growing[!] Illegitimate, since the name 

 / aquifolium EXCELSA has priority. = SCHWOEBEL'S UPRIGHT, 

 ERECTA, EXCELSA SCHWOEBEL, EXCELSA UPRIGHT. 



EXCELSA SCHWOEBEL (Chesapeake Nurs., Salisbury, Maryland, cat. 

 fall 1978-sp. 1979) - pyramidal; extremely hardy. = SCHWOEBEL'S 

 UPRIGHT, ERECTA, EXCELSA, EXCELSA UPRIGHT. 



EXCELSA UPRIGHT (Millcreek Nurs., Newark, Delaware, cat. 1958, 

 without descr). = SCHWOEBEL'S UPRIGHT, ERECTA, EXCELSA, 

 EXCELSA SCHWOEBEL. 



var.fastigiata (T. Makino, Bot. Mag. (Tokyo) 27:252. 1913) - tall 



branches, dense, erect, fastigiate; lvs. similar to type; discovered 1911 in 

 cult., Kuroki-machi, Chikugo Prov., Japan; garden variety, very rare. = 

 FASTIGIATA of S.-y. Hu, i.fastigiata (Makino) Hara; not 

 FASTIGIATA of Wada or the Bennett Hybrid. 



i.fastigiata (Makino) Hara (H. Hara, Enumeration Spermatophytarum 

 Japonicarum. Pt. 3:69. 1954) - changed botanical rank of var.fastigiata 

 Makino to forma. S.-y. Hu, Nat'l Hort. Mag. 36(1 ):49. 1957 - a 

 horticultural form probably not yet intro. [to U.S.]. = FASTIGIATA of 

 S.-y. Hu, vsLT.fastigiata Makino, not FASTIGIATA of Wada, or the 

 Bennett Hybrid. 



FASTIGIATA (Greenbrier Farms Nurs., Norfolk, Virginia, cat. p. 45. 

 1965) - narrow, fastigiate; lvs. thick, convex, dark green. C. Tuley in 

 H. Dengler, Amer. Nurseryman 121(10):88. 1965, and C. Tuley in Proc. 

 38th Meet. Holly Soc. Amer., p. 2. 1965 - female; (Bennett Hybrid 

 Group). Illegitimate, since the name is in Latin form and since the name 

 FASTIGIATA of S.Y. Hu has priority. This clone is different from 

 FASTIGIATA of S.-y. Hu and of Wada. = CONVEXA UPRIGHT. 



FASTIGIATA (S.-y. Hu, Amer. Hort. Mag. 49(4): 198. 1970) - from 

 Japan; probably not yet introd. to U.S.; changed the rank from 

 i.fastigiata (Makino) Hara to cultivar status. = var. fastigiata Makino, 

 i.fastigiata (Makino) Hara. 



FASTIGIATA (J. Sugimoto, New Keys to Woody Pits. Jap., p. 277. 1972) 

 - erect branches grow in clusters which resemble a broom. Illegitimate 

 cultivar name, since the name is in Latin form. Data insufficient to 

 equate to var. fastigiata Makino or with FASTIGIATA of Hu, which 

 may refer to a wild occurring plant. 



FASTIGIATA (K. Wada, Hakoneya Nurs., Numazu-Shi, Japan, cat. p. 39. 

 1937, as crenata fastigiata) - another pygmy form with more rounded, 

 beautiful lvs. Wada's sel. appears to be a different clone from Makino's, 

 which S.-y. Hu treated as a cultivar. Makino's name fastigiata, although 

 transferred from bot. var. to forma and to cv. rank (see i.fastigiata
