ILEX CONVEXA BULLATA (Boxwood Holly) 
This bushy low-growing plant is cloaked the year 
around in rich, glossy green, Boxwood-like foliage, 
which actually hides the branches and twigs. Though 
a member of the Holly family, it neither flowers nor 
bears berries. It is definitely a foliage plant of most 
unusual character. Recommended for planting in 
partial shade, full sun and dry places.
