Narrative
Full name as recorded at U.S. National Arboretum: Mahonia 'Esther Epstein'. Form received: division. Received as Mahonia repens 'Esther Epstein'. Originally from Dr. Epstein, named after his wife. Examination of this accession shows features much closer to M. aquifolium than to M. repens, except for the glaucous abaxial leaf surface (but the glaucousness is lost in aged leaves, and the cells are glossy beneath, unlike in M. repens whose glaucousness does not wear off). Leaves are thickly leathery as in M. aquifolium; they are abaxially very glossy with impressed, netted veins, and lateral leaflets are lance-elliptic. The plant is short by M. aquifolium standards, but there is substantial overlap in height between M. aquifolium and M. repens. -SBL
