Ilex amelanchier, the Swamp Holly, is a rare[1] species of holly from southeastern North America.[2] It is a close relative of Mountain Holly (Ilex mucronata) which formerly was placed in a monotypic genus Nemopanthus. I. amelanchier grows near water, for example on streambanks.[1]
The dull red berries 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]
