Triloba differs from H. helix only in being more distinctly 

 three-lobed, while the form is more constant, H. helix being 

 always variable and showing a tendency to a five-lobed outline. 

 Contributed by Mr. Turner as Triloba. 



Cuspidata minor is of somewhat spare habit, the leaves five- 

 lobed, the divisions cusped, the colour light green. Contributed 

 by Mr. Turner as Crenata baccifera nigra. 



Palmata has a fine character, and is readily recognised by its 

 distinct palmate form and full deep green colour. Contributed 

 by Mr. Turner as Palmata. x x . 



Lobata major is of bold outline, with prominent front lobe, 

 and a deep rich green colour. One of the best green Ivies. Con- 

 tributed by Mr.Turner as Lobata major, also as Scutifolia. x x x . 



Pedata is one of the most distinct and interesting ; the leaves 

 are divided like a bird's foot, the grey veins are very distinct. 

 Being rather spare in growth and given to objectionable varia- 

 tion when it has mounted to some height on a wall, it is de- 

 sirable to cut it down occasionally to keep it well furnished 

 and in proper character. Contributed by Mr. J. Fraser as 

 Caemvoodiana, also by Mr. Turner as Pedata. Syn. Digitata, 

 Chrysocarpa, North Indian Gold en -fruited, x x x . 



Deltoidea has shield-shaped leaves, the lobes broad and often 

 overlapping, the substance of the leaf leathery, the colour deep 

 dull green, the leaf-stalks purplish. Contributed by Mr. John 

 Eraser as Bhomboidea obovata. Syn. Bhomboidea, Bhomboidea 

 latifolia, Bhombea. 



Lucida is a large form of helix, the leaf three-lobed and some- 

 what tapering in form, the colour rich deep green, becoming 

 bronzy in winter, and at all seasons having a glossy surface. 

 Contributed by Mr. Turner as Lucida poetica. x x . 



Tortuosa is one of the grandest of the large-leaved forms of 

 helix; the leaves are broadly ovate, never distinctly lobed, though 

 usually tending to a three-lobed form. In autumn they 

 become twisted, and being 'dark green or almost black, with a 

 polished surface, render the plant conspicuous for its massive 

 beauty. Contributed by Mr. Fraser as Glymii. x x x . 



Cinerea is an Asiatic form of helix of rather tender constitu- 

 tion. It is distinct and pleasing and peculiarly interesting in 

 growth on account of the production of the sharp side lobes 

 subsequent to the growth of the leaf to normal size. The colour
