    I planted this shrub 3 years ago. It came with the tag "Myrtleleaf Holly (Ilex myrtifolia). After researching on the internet, this plant doesn't look like the examples of myrtleleaf holly I have found; the leaves are serrated, not smooth. What is this plant?

    English Holly 'Angustifolia' perhaps?

    'Angustifolia', 'Myrtifolia' and 'Serratifolia' are all similar, differing from one another in specific details. There are others of the same general character as well.
