The Balearic or Minorca holly, as it is called, is said to differ from the common holly only in having plane, entire or sparsely toothed leaves. The I. a. balearica was, however, used in gardens in Loudon's time for a female holly, propagated by grafting, which had yellowish green, rather thick leaves, the margins sparsely spine-toothed.
