Hollies are shrubs and trees from 2–25 m tall, with a wide distribution in Asia, Europe, Africa, and North and South America. Most species are found in the tropics and subtropics of America and Asia - China has 204 native species[1] - but this account is based largely on the well-studied species of Europe and North America. The leaves are simple, and can be either deciduous or evergreen depending on the species, and may be entire, finely toothed, or with widely-spaced, spine-tipped serrations. They are mostly dioecious, with male and female flowers on different plants, with some exceptions. Pollination is mainly by bees and other insects. The fruits are small drupes, usually with four to six pits, and range in color from red to purple-black.[2] One species in China, Ilex chapaensis, has large green fruits that are eaten by civets[3].
