NATIONAL. The references to /. crenata NATIONAL in this pit. pat. 

 were erroneous, as a selection by this name does not exist. Possibly 

 /. cornuta NATIONAL was intended. = ? / cornuta NATIONAL. 



NIGRA (C. Tuley, Proc. 38th Meet. Holly Soc. Amer., p. 2. 1965) - 

 semiupright; lvs. large, slightly convex, rich green color; this plant now 

 being sold in place of ROTUNDIFOLIA [at Greenbrier Farms Nurs.,

 50:483. 1980, without descr.). D. Milbocker et al., Southern 

 Nurserymen's Assoc, Res. Jour. 7(2):2-4. 1981, without descr.). Not the 

 same plant as NIGRA, the Bennett Hybrid from Greenbrier Nursery. 

 Illegitimate, since descr. is lacking and the name is in Latin form. 



NO. 400 (Tom Dodd Nurs., Semmes, Alabama, cat. p. 14. 1960-61, 

 without descr.). 



NOBILIS (Appalachian Nurs., Waynesboro, Pennsylvania, cat. p. 9. fall 

 1950-sp. 1951) - upright; lvs. slightly larger than most/, crenata lvs. 

 Illegitimate, since the name /. aquifolium NOBILIS has priority. = 

 NOBLE UPRIGHT, NOBLE. 



NOBLE (Lillards Nurs., Jeffersontown, Kentucky, advert, in Amer. 

 Nurseryman 132(9):73. 1970) - upright. = NOBLE UPRIGHT,

 1968, without descr.) - growing at Bernheim Forest, Louisville, 

 Kentucky. Appalachian Nurs., Waynesboro, Pennsylvania, cat. p. 9. fall 

 1950-sp. 1951, as NOBILIS - upright; lvs. slightly larger than most 

 /. crenata. Male. F. Galle (personal communication) indicates that the 

 leaves are not larger than most /. crenata, based on examination of 

 authentic plants. The authors have selected NOBLE UPRIGHT, a later 

 syn. of the illegitimate NOBILIS, as the most appropriate name available 

 and legitimately publish NOBLE UPRIGHT here for the first time 

 using the descr. of NOBILIS. = NOBILIS, NOBLE.
