 him; NA 31352, PI 452266; compact, globose to broadly pyramidal,

 cat. p. 4. fall 1979-sp. 1980 - dwarf, compact, twiggy appearance; new 

 from Nat'l Arb. Mr. Ceserini's (Phyto Ecology) use of this name was

 TYKE (G. Eisenbeiss and T. Dudley, Holly Soc. Amer. Let. 72:6. 1982) - 

 sdlg. sel. from PI 276082, 1961 as /. crenata subsp. radicans; prostrate, 

 dwarf, compact, good color, male; Holly Soc. Amer. Reg. No. 3-82 by 

 D. Bradshaw and L. Schmid, Clemson University, Clemson, South 

 Carolina. This is a cv. of/, crenata var. paludosa. 

 var. typica Loesener (T. Loesener, Monog. Aquifol., Pt. 1., p. 200. 1901). 

 Loesener's descr. of var. typica was limited to mainly fruit and pyrene 

 characteristics and geographical origins. All of these characteristics and 

 geographical ranges are well within the ranges of both cultivated 

 expressions and wild occurring /. crenata var. crenata. Typical Ilex 

 crenata var. crenata includes the /. crenata described from cultivation 

 by Regel in 1887, /. elliptica Siebold, and I.fortunei Hort. A. Rehder, 

 Mitt. Deut. Dendr. Gesel. 17:161. 1908 - translated from German: 

 lvs. elliptic, oval or ovate-egg shaped to lanceolate-elliptic or 

 lanceolate-egg shape, 1.5 - 4.0 cm long; the forms cultivated 

 in England, vars. major, latifolia, and elliptica, were from 

 material sent to me by my friend W. J. Bean from Kew 

 Arboretum are definitely the type form; the extensive number 

 of Japanese examples [from the wild] I have seen scarcely 

 differ from this [the type forma] in that their leaves are inverted 

 egg shape at the point while the point of the leaf in the 

 cultivated forms is elliptic. 

 Rehder (1908) also recognized a var. nummularia [now called 

 MARIESII]. Later, Rehder (Biblio. Trees & Shrubs, p. 402. 1949) 

 recognized six bot.formae of/, crenata but still only one variety, var. 

 nummularia. Variety typica was simply noted by Rehder (1949) under 

 the species heading of/, crenata and was not connected with the 

 infraspecific elements of/, crenata. Since so many garden variations of 

 /. crenata are now recognized, the broadly inclusive descr. by Loesener 

 and Rehder of var. typica are of little value for identification and 

 determination of cultivated elements. Nevertheless Loesener's var. 

 typica, the typical expression, served botanical and nomenclatural 

 purposes, since it clearly distinguished some character differences and 

 geographical locations of/, crenata in the wild. According to current
