leaves. Linn. 4, Or. 3, Nat. Or. Aquifoliacece. j.
genus of trees and shrubs well known for their
elegant character, evergreen prickly foliage, and
their adaptation 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. Thev grow well in any soil,
but best in a dryish situation, where there is agood
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 Maté in Brazil. Synonyme:

cutt ngs of the young wood planted m sand, under

must be raised from seeds sown in a hotbed in

height, they may be planted singly into pots, and
ti-eated as other tender annuals and biennials. The
