 - lvs. 2 cm long, gold spotted; found in Russia 1869 [obviously Regel's 

 plant]; AUREO-VARIEGATA based on Goldring's var. was given as a 

 separate cultivar. R. Clark in Hortus Third, p. 591. 1976 - lvs. mottled 

 yellow; with syn. of VARIEGATA. It appears reasonable that LUTEO- 

 VARIEGATA as a cultivar is Maximowicz's plant from Japan which 

 Regel named var. luteo-variegata. LUTEO-VARIEGATA 

 (Maximowicz's introd.) did exist and was probably a single clone easily 

 identified in Regel's time. Many different names have been published 

 (see syn.) involving the name luteo-variegata but with inadequate descr., 

 and its variable ranks and syn. resulted in confusion. This confusion, 

 along with the absence of authentic plants, makes current possible 

 identification of LUTEO-VARIEGATA and the other involyed names 

 dubious. However, LUTEO-VARIEGATA as a clone unquestionably 

 did exist. (Variegated Group). = var. luteo-variegata Regal, ? f. luteo- 

 variegata (Regel) Rehder, var. major of Schelle, ? MICROPHYLLA 

 AUREO-VARIEGATA, VARIEGATA Bean, var. variegata Bean, var. 

 variegata Dallimore, var. variegata Nicholson, not AUREO- 

 VARIEGATA of Boom. 



LUTHER COPELAND New name. Sel. and named and introd. 1985 by 

 Tom Dodd, Tom Dodd Nurs., Semmes, Alabama. Compact, globose, 

 slow growing; lvs. broadly elliptic; male. Published here for the first 

 time. 



MACROPHYLLA (J. Conder, Landscape Gardening in Japan, 2d ed., 

 p. 112. 1912, without descr., as macrophylla) - published with Romanji 

 name "Oba-tsuge." Illegitimate, since the name /. aquifolium 

 MACROPHYLLA (orig. 1889) has priority. Unable to equate to 

 MACROPHYLLA of Moon. 



MACROPHYLLA (Lindley Nurs., Greensboro, North Carolina, cat. p. 12. 

 fall 1946-sp. 1947) - medium growth; more spreading, and with lvs. 

 larger and broader [than typical for the species]; female. Possibly 

 equivalent to MACROPHYLLA of Wister and Wyman. Unable to 

 equate to MACROPHYLLA of Conder. Illegitimate by priority of 

 /. aquifolium MACROPHYLLA. 



MACROPHYLLA (William Moon Nurs., Morrisville, Pennsylvania, cat. 

 1910) - lvs. a little larger than typical for/, crenata. Illegitimate, since 

 the name /. aquifolium MACROPHYLLA (orig. 1889) has priority. 

 Unable to equate to MACROPHYLLA of Conder. 



MACROPHYLLA (Wister et al., Holly Soc. Amer. Bui. 6:34. 1953, 

 without descr.) - said to be grown at Brownell Farms, Milwaukie, 

 Oregon, and The Morris Arb., Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. D. Wyman, 

 Arnoldia 20(7):46. 1960, without descr. - as macrophylla; it is probably a 

 syn. of var. latifolia. Wyman's suggestion that macrophylla is a syn. of 

 var. latifolia is speculative, since the identification of his var. latifolia is 

 questionable. MACROPHYLLA of Wister possibly equates to
