GENUS INDEX
GENUS CODE: ILEX GENUS SCIENTIFIC:Ilex GENUS AUTHORITY: L. GENUS COMMON: Holly GENUS SUMMARY: A genus of 400-500 species, mostly trees and shrubs, cosmopolitan and widespread in tropical and temperate areas, especially Asia and America. The genus Nemopanthus is clearly best subsumed into Ilex. GENUS IDENTIFICATION: Identification notes: Some of our species can be superficially similar to various shrubs and trees of the Rosaceae, in their alternate toothed leaves borne on spur shoots. GENUS REFERENCES: Godfrey (1988)=Y; Krakow (1989)=Z; Powell et al. (2000)=X; Wunderlin & Poppleton (1977).

WEAKLEY FLORA
SCIENTIFIC NAME: Ilex cassine
COMMON NAME: Dahoon, Cassena
SYNONYMY: [= GW, S, Y; = I. cassine var. cassine - RAB, WH3; > I. cassine var. cassine - K2]
PHENOLOGY:
HABITAT: Blackwater stream swamps,
COMMENTS: Pocosins, nearly always in very acid peaty or sandy sites. May-Jun; Oct-Nov. Primarily a Southeastern Coastal Plain endemic: se. NC south to s. FL and west to se. TX; also in the Bahamas, Cuba (González-Gutiérrez 2007), and Mexico. I. cassine is variable in leaf shape, sometimes approaching I. myrtifolia. Some populations in our area show intergradation with or poor differentiation from I. myrtifolia, lending some credibility to their treatment as varieties.
