AN INTERESTING HOLLY FROM THE ANDES. 
{Ilex sp. ; S. P. I. No. 51788.) 
From an elevation of 10,000 feet, near Bogota, Colombia, has come this new holly, whose behavior 
in the greenhouses at Washington indicates that it may prove to be an ornamental plant of 
unusual value. Its shapely form, even when very small, and its handsome, glossy green foliage 
make it a pot plant of attractive appearance. When larger it produces red berries in great 
abundance. It should prove, hardy enough for cultivation outdoors in California and Florida, 
if not generally throughout the Gulf Coast region. (Photographed by Wilson Popenoe at 
Bogota, Colombia, October 14, 1920; P18141FS.)
