Ilex, Linn. Name originally from the Celtic, oc, or 
flc, signifying a point; on account of the prickly 
leaves. Linn. 4, Or. 3, Nat. Or. Aquifoliacea. A 
genus of trees and shrubs well known for their 
elegant character, evergreen prickly foliage, and 
their adimtation to lawns. Many varieties have 
resulted from culture, which are distinguished by 
the variegation and size of the leaves, and the 
colour of the fruit. They grow well in any soil, 
but best in a dryish situation, where there is a good 
depth of loam. They are increased by budding or 
grafting on the common kinds ; but cuttings of the 
ripened wood will root under a glass, in a sheltered 
situation. I. paraguensis is used as tea, and yields 
the famous beverage called Mat^ in Brazil. Syno~
