| Ilex errata, a shrub
of 2-3m in height, grows in wetlands or damp deciduous broad-leaved
forests with gray-brown barks. Leaves are of alternate phyllotaxis;
blades, 3-8cm long, 1.5-3cm wide, are oblong or oval-like long
oblong, with tips pointed, bases acute, and fine sharp serrations on
margins. Flowers, 3-4mm across, light purple, set themselves on
current year's branch axils; inflorescence axes are so short that
the flowers may be seemingly fascicled - 5-20 in male inflorescences
and 2-4 in female ones. Petals are 4-5 in number, each 4mm long, and
sepals are 4-5. Drupes, spherical, about 5mm across, mature red in
September-October. Bloom time: June. |
