MARIGOLD GLITTERS (Clarendon Gdns. Nurs., Pinehurst, North 

 Carolina, cat. 1957, without descr.). Thought to be female with yellow fr. 



MAXWELL (Tingle Nurs., Pittsville, Maryland, cat. p. 21. fall 1956-sp. 

 1957) - spreading, slightly more ascending in habit than CONVEXA; 

 lvs. light olive green, slightly convex; Bennett Hybrid. C. Tuley, Proc. 

 38th Meet. Holly Soc. Amer. p. 2. 1965 - similar to CONVEXA in form 

 but faster growing; lvs. like CONVEXA, but larger and less glossy. 

 Male. (Bennett Hybrid Group). = HADLOCK. 



MENTOR DENSE (R. Clark, Proc. 28th Meet. Holly Soc. Amer., p. 11. 

 1960) - sister sdlg. to GREEN PIGMY; Holly Soc. Amer. Reg. No. 

 4-60 by A. Shammarello & Son Nurs. A. Shammarello & Son Nurs., 

 South Euclid, Ohio, cat. p. 4. sp. 1961 - semi-dwarf, compact, numerous 

 short upright branches of uniform growth; introd. for first time. Female. 

 = ? DENSA, DENSE. 



MENTOR GLOSSY (R. Clark, Proc. 28th Meet. Holly Soc. Amer., p. 11. 

 1960) - informal, bushy; lvs. glossy dark green, slightly larger than 

 parent type; male; sdlg. orig. in 1945 at Shammarello Nurs., Holly Soc. 

 Amer. Reg. No. 5-60 by A. Shammarello & Son Nurs. A. Shammarello 

 & Son Nurs., South Euclid, Ohio, cat. p. 4. sp. 1961 - thickly branched at

 recent introd." 



METER BOY (E. Hemming, Amer. Nurseryman 150(1 1):50. 1979) - round 

 lvs. Illegitimate, since descr. inadequate. 



MICRO SPECIAL (Phyto Ecology, Ridgely, Maryland, cat. p. 5. fall 1976- 

 sp. 1977) - dwarf, semiupright; lvs. small, shiny, convex. Illegitimate, 

 since part of the name is in Latin form. 



var. microphylla (C. Maximowicz ex J. Matsumura, Shokubutsu Mei-i, 

 p. 149. 1895, 1897, 1900, without descr.). These appear to be the earliest 

 references to the name /. crenata microphylla. No ref. by Maximowicz 

 has been found. A. Rehder, Mitt. Deut. Dendr. Gesel. 17; 160. 1908, as 

 f. microphylla - Rehder considered Matsumura's reference to var. 

 microphylla Maximowicz dubious. A. Rehder felt that it was unlikely 

 that Maximowicz would publish a new taxon for the first time without a 

 description in a publication like Matsumura's. Still, Rehder did not want 

 to ignore Matsumura's publication of the name var. microphylla 

 Maximowicz. Later, Rehder used the rank of var. in L.H. Bailey, Stand. 

 Cyclopedia Hort. 3:1640. 1915 - lvs. l/3"-l/2" long, elliptic or elliptic- 

 oblong; somewhat hardier than the type [of/, crenata]. Again, Rehder 

 used the rank of var. in Man. Cult. Trees & Shrubs, 1st ed., p. 545. 1927 

 and in ibid., 2d ed., p. 551. 1940. However, in Biblio. Trees & Shrubs, 

 p. 402. 1949, Rehder used the forma rank again. The descriptions in all 

 of Rehder's references listed above are very similar. Andorra Nurs., 

 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, cat. p. 28. 1903, as var. microphylla - "Has 

 been widely disseminated; we have specimens up to 7 ft tall and though 

 we have watched it closely since 1882, we have never seen the foliage
