Ilex amelanchier
Template:Short description Template:Italic title Template:Speciesbox
Ilex amelanchier, the swamp holly or sarvis holly, is a rare[1] species of holly from the southeastern United States.[2] It is a close relative of mountain holly (Ilex mucronata) which used to be placed in a monotypic genus Nemopanthus. Ilex amelanchier grows near water, for example on streambanks.[1]
The dull red drupes appear in October to November, and may persist until the following spring.[1]
Its native range is limited to the Atlantic coastal plain and gulf coastal plain,[1] and extends as far south as Florida, as far west as Louisiana, and as far north as North Carolina.[2][3][4]
