Rhamnus ilicifolia, Kellogg (R. crocea var. ilicifolia, Greene). Evergreen shrub or small tree, to 12, or sometimes to 20 ft., with rather stout scarcely spinescent branches: lvs. oval to orbicular, spinulose-dentate, dark green and lustrous above, often golden beneath, 3/4-1 1/2 in. long: fls. often 5-merous, apetalous: fr. bright red, ovoid, 1/4in. long. Calif. S.S. 2:59 (as R. crocea).—This is superior to the preceding species on account of the more, plentiful and somewhat larger bright red berries, also the lvs. are larger and resemble those of Prunus ilicifolia.
