Vernacular names
English: Sarvis holly

Ilex amelanchier, the swamp holly or sarvis holly, is a rare[3] species of holly from the southeastern United States.[4] It is a close relative of mountain holly (Ilex mucronata) which used to be placed in a monotypic genus Nemopanthus. Ilex amelanchier grows near water, for example on streambanks.[3]

The dull red drupes appear in October to November, and may persist until the following spring.[3]

Its native range is limited to the Atlantic coastal plain and gulf coastal plain,[3] and extends as far south as Florida, as far west as Louisiana, and as far north as North Carolina.[4][5][6]
