Ilex vomitoria
''Ilex vomitoria'', commonly known as yaupon or yaupon holly, is a species of holly that is native to southeastern North America. The word ''yaupon'' was derived from its Catawban name, ''yopún'', which is a diminutive form of the word ''yop'', meaning "tree". Another common name, cassina, was borrowed from the Timucua language (despite this, it usually refers to ''Ilex cassine'').
==Description==
Yaupon holly is an evergreen shrub or small tree reaching 5–9 meters tall, with smooth, light gray bark and slender, hairy shoots. The leaves are alternate, ovate to elliptical with a rounded apex and crenate or coarsely serrated margin, 1-4.5 cm long and 1–2 cm broad, glossy dark green above, slightly paler below. The flowers are 5–5.5 mm diameter, with a white four-lobed corolla. The fruit is a small round, shiny, and red (occasionally yellow) drupe 4–6 mm diameter containing four pits, which are dispersed by birds eating the fruit. The species may be distinguished from the similar ''Ilex cassine'' by its smaller leaves with a rounded, not acute apex.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=USDA Plant Guide )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Florida Department of Environmental Protection )〕〔〔Bioimages: (''Ilex vomitoria'' )〕
