Il: Other named English Holly varieties including importations and 
numerous distinctive types originating in the Pacific Northwest. 
A. Hollies with leaves all green in color (See also II, C). 
1. Green Hollies with small leaves up to about | % inches in length. 
ANGUSTIFOLIA, M and F—from 
angus meaning narrow and folia leaf. 
See Petit and Petite below. Little lance- 
like leaves dark green with high gloss 
ANGUSTIFOLIA 
and lying flat with minute marginal 
spines. Berries of the feminine form 
are brilliant red and so small as to 
excite attention. Charming compact col- 
umnar growth forming tall green pil- 
lars, ideal for framing a gateway or 
marking a garden path. 
The Angustifolia, itself a mutation, is 
prone to sporting back to the norm of 
the Aquifolium species. The propaga- 
tion of these frequently recurring bud 
deviations has resulted in the produc- 
tion of numerous and attractive inter- 
mediate varietal forms. The following 
small leafed hollies described by Dalli- 
more could have originated from 
Aquifolium as did Angustifolia or be- 
cause of their general similarity they 
could in part at least have first appeared 
as sports from Angustifolia : Myrtifolia ; 
Serratifolia; Ciliata; Microphylla;: 
Lineata.

DONNINGTONESIS, M—As are 
most of the small leaved hollies it is 
conspicuous for the dark purple colora- 
tion of bark. While slow of growth its 
pyramidal form makes it a most effec- 
tive specimen. Even the leaves reflect 
a dull purplish tint in contrast to the 
bright and shining greens displayed by 
its little companions in this category. 
ECHO, F—(Brownell). A lovely and 
tiny but wavy leaved fruiting form orig- 
inating from Angustifolia and appear- 
ing to celebrate its liberation from long 
years of concealment within a diminu- 
tive mutation by echoing the beauty 
of its ancestral species. 
HANDSWORTHENSIS, M—A 
smartly groomed gentleman holly, ap- 
pearing with impeccable habit of sym- 
metrically conical growth, and dressed 
with well trimmed leaves each alike 
and with tiny spines standing at atten- 
tion all pointing tipward. 
HASTATA, M—(Latispina Minor). 
Small, choice and utterly different. 
Named hastata meaning halberd be- 
cause of the remarkable similarity of 
the leaf shape to the medieval pike 
with sharp steel blade and side spikes, 
and used so devastatingly by armored 
knights of yore for gory helmet splitting. 
LATISPINA MINOR, M—(see Has- 
tata). 
LILLIBET, F—(Brownell). Sport from 
Angustifolia closely resembling Dalli- 
more’s I.A. Myrtifolia. Also sometimes 
sold by English nurseries under name 
of Angustifolia. A lovely berrying but 
somewhat broader leafed form of An- 
gustifolia with a low spreading growth 
in contrast to the columnar charac- 
teristic of its counterpart. A pleasing 
holly with shining leaves that sparkle 
in the sunlight. 
LILLIPUT, M—(Brownell). Male form 
of Lillibet above. 
MYRTIFOLIA (Dallimore). See Lilli- 
bet.
