Narrative
Received as Ilex myrtifolia (yellow fruit); accessioned at USNA as Ilex myrtifolia (open-pollinated seed of Lowei Group). Note: while these seeds were collected from yellow-fruited individuals, the parent plants were open-pollinated. The yellow fruit trait is likely to be recessive, so some seedlings may be only heterogeneous for yellow fruit. -SBL
