Remarks
Ilex monticola A. Gray (1856) is a superfluous and illegitimate name for I. montana A. Gray (1848), and I. amelanchier var. monticola Alph. Wood (Amer. Bot. Fl. 208. 1870) is a replacement name at a new rank. Wunderlin & Poppleton (p. 11) mentioned that “The oldest available epithet at the varietal rank for this taxon is monticola (Ilex amelanchier var. monticola (Gray) Wood, Amer. Bot. Fl. 208. 1870)” (sic) and proposed “Ilex ambigua var. monticola (Gray) Wunderlin & Poppleton, comb. nov.” Their parenthetical authorship citation of “(Gray)” is corrected to: (Alph. Wood)
