(London) 30:129. 1887 - mentioned a variegated form with silver 

 markings, but did not name it. (Variegated Group). Illegitimate, since 

 the name /. aquifolium ARGENTEA VARIEGATA has priority. 



AUREA (H.J. Weber & Sons Nurs., Nursery, Missouri, cat. p. 62. 1912) - 

 as folis aureis; lvs. golden variegated; obtained from Holland. 

 (Variegated Group). Illegitimate, since the name /. aquifolium AUREA 

 published in 1856 has priority. = ? ROTUNDIFOLIA AUREA. 



var. aureo-variegata (W. Goldring, Garden (London) 31:129. 1887) - "lvs. 

 mottled with bright golden yellow which with the green makes an 

 extremely bright little shrub, especially in winter." L. Dippel, Handb. 

 Laub., p. 509. 1892 - gold colored; with syn. I.fortunei aureo- 

 variegata. A. Rehder, Mitt. Deut. Dendr. Gesel. 17:161. 1908 - in syn. 

 of/, luteo-variegata (Regel) Rehder; additional syns. listed were var. 

 luteo-variegata Regel, "f." variegata Nicholson, and I.fortunei 

 f. aureo-variegata Schelle. Idem, Man. Cult. Trees & Shrubs, p. 545. 

 1927 - with syn. var. variegata Bean. Idem, Biblio. Trees & Shrubs, 

 p. 402. 1949 - with syn. var. variegata Nicholson. S.-y. Hu, Jour. 

 Arnold Arb. 49:325. 1949 - follows Rehder's syn. with the additional 

 syn. of var. variegata Dallimore. B. Boom, Nederl. Dendr., 3d ed., 

 p. 310. 1949 - in syn. of var. luteo-variegata Regel, additional syn. of 

 var. fortunei Hort. G. Kriissmann, Handb. Laub., 1st ed., Fascicle Pub., 

 2:23. Dec. 1960 - as AUREO-VARIEGATA based on Goldring's var. 

 aureo-variegata. Invalid as a bot. var., since it was based on a cultivated 

 plant. = AUREO-VARIEGATA, f. aureo-variegata of Schelle, 

 VARIEGATA of Hillier, not LUTEO-VARIEGATA of Boom. 



f. aureo-variegata (L. Beissner, E. Schelle, and H. Zabel, Handb. Laub.- 

 Ben., p. 291. 1903, as /. crenata f. aureo-variegata or I.fortunei 

 f. aureo-variegata, without descr.). = AUREO-VARIEGATA, var. 

 aureo-variegata Goldring, VARIEGATA of Hillier. 



AUREO-VARIEGATA (B. Boom, Nederl. Dendr., 4th ed., p. 337. 1959) - 

 like LATIFOLIA but lvs. spotted or marbled yellow; cult. 1887. Ibid., 

 p. 323. 1965 and 1972 - lvs. large and rounded like those of 

 ROTUNDIFOLIA and LATIFOLIA. G. Kriissmann, Handb. Laub., 1st 

 ed., Fascicle Pub., 2:23. 1960 - lvs. 2-4 cm long, gold spotted or 

 marbled; cult, in England, 1887. Based on Goldring's var. aureo- 

 variegata, which has been variously placed in syn. of several other 

 names. Descriptions by Boom and Kriissmann indicate that AUREO- 

 VARIEGATA is a different clone from LUTEO-VARIEGATA. 

 Although more descriptive information would be helpful, the leaves of 

 AUREO-VARIEGATA are said by Boom to be larger than those of 

 LUTEO-VARIEGATA. The leaves of AUREO-VARIEGATA are 

 also said to be mottled or blotched as well as spotted, while the leaves 

 of LUTEO-VARIEGATA are described only as being spotted. We have 

 observed that both leaf size and spotted variegations in leaves of 

 /. crenata may be unstable and may vary with climate and culture on
