Actually, I misspoke.  It's the chambering at the nodes.  F, suspensa
is supposed to be hollow but solid at the nodes, F. x intermedia is
chambered and solid at the nodes, and F. viridissima is chambered all
the way through.

We pretty much only had two choices here in Champaign-Urbana (zone 5b): 
Ilex x meserveae and Ilex opaca.  I guess Ilex glabra, too, but that
was pretty obvious.  :)
