'''''Ilex vomitoria''''' ('''Yaupon Holly''', '''Yaupon''', or '''Cassina'''; the latter shared with ''[[Ilex cassine]]''), is a species of [[holly]] native to southeastern [[North America]], occurring in [[United States]] from [[Maryland]] south to [[Florida]] and west to [[Oklahoma]] (only in the extreme southeast)<ref name=obs>Oklahoma Biological Survey: [http://www.biosurvey.ou.edu/shrub/ilvo.htm ''Ilex vomitoria'']</ref> and [[Texas]], and in [[Mexico]] in [[Chiapas]].<ref name=grin>Germplasm Resources Information Network: [http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/taxon.pl?19791 ''Ilex vomitoria'']</ref> It is an [[evergreen]] [[shrub]] or small [[tree]] reaching 5-9 m tall, with smooth, light gray bark and slender, hairy shoots. The [[leaf|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 [[flower]]s are 5–5.5 mm diameter, with a white four-lobed corolla. The [[fruit]] is a small round or red (occasionally yellow) [[drupe]] 4-6 mm diameter containing four pits, which are dispersed by [[bird]]s eating the fruit. The species may be distinguished from the similar ''Ilex cassine'' by its smaller leaves with a rounded, not acute apex.<ref name=usda>USDA Plant Guide: [http://www.plants.usda.gov/plantguide/doc/cs_ilvo.doc yaupon ''Ilex vomitoria'' (doc file)]</ref><ref name=fdep>Florida Department of Environmental Protection: [http://www.dep.state.fl.us/water/wetlands/delineation/featuredplants/ilex.htm Florida's Hollies]</ref><ref name=usmil>Martin, C.
