Ilex rotunda, an evergreen tree with gray-white barks that grow to 10m, rarely 20m in height, inhabits evergreen tree forests in fields and mountains. Leaves are alternate, 6-10cm long, 3-4cm wide, in an oblong shape, both ends are pointed, with margins entire—petioles, measuring 1-2cm in length, tinge purple. Dioecious: Axils on the current year's branches emerge in umbels where 2-7 white or light purple flowers appear. Drupes are spherical, about 6mm long, and mature red in November-December.
