Abstract
The hollies are members of the family Aquifoliaceae, and belong to the genus Ilex. There are well over 500 species in this genus. Plants in this group are deciduous or evergreen trees or shrubs. They are widely scattered throughout the world, occurring in the temperate and tropical regions of both hemispheres.
