Ilex verticillata (L.) A. Gray, var. tenuifolia,
FI. North. States, 338 (1824). This variety with thin,
ovate leaves, glabrous, except a slight pubescence along
midvein on the under surface, and with mucronate-tipped,
pressed teeth, originally collected by Dr. Torrey in the
swamp at New Durham, has recently been collected by Mr.
M. Whitfield at Mt. Washington, Berkshire Co., Mass.
Var. padifolia (Willd.), T. and G. in S. Wats.
Index, i. 220, is distinguished from the type by its
thicker (almost coriaceous), broadly oval or meatfly
leaves. The original specimen in Herb. Torrey came ftfom
Erie. The plant is common on the Pocono Plateau of Pennsyl-
vania.
Professor Trelease, in his review of North American? species
of Ilex in Trans. St. Louis Acad. Sci. Vol. V., does not redog-
nize either of these varieties, but they appear to me
well-marked enough to warrant consideration.
