Ilex pernyi (Perny's holly) is a species in the Ilex (holly) genus and the family Aquifoliaceae. It was discovered by the French Jesuit missionary and botanist Paul-Hubert Perny and named after him by Adrien René Franchet.[1]
This evergreen shrub or small tree growing to 10–15 m tall occurs in central and south-west of China, specifically in Anhui, Gansu, Guizhou, Shaanxi, Sichuan, and Yunnan.[2][3] The leaves are smaller than those of most other hollies, 1.5–3 cm long, diamond-shaped, with five (occasionally three or seven) sharp spines on the margins. The small flowers are yellow, and berries on the female plants are red.[4][1] It is widespread, and currently considered to be of least concern.[2]
It is occasionally cultivated as an ornamental tree in western Europe.[1]
