Ilex laevigata
Ilex laevigata (Pursh) A. Gray, commonly referred to as smooth winterberry, is a plant species in the Aquifoliaceae (holly family). It is native to the eastern United States, ranging from coastal areas of Maine to Georgia.
This deciduous species grows in naturally moist areas, such as seepage swamps, wet flatwoods, and nonriverine swamps. It is dioecious, with separate male and female flowers occurring on separate plants, like other hollies. It is closely related to and can occur alongside the lookalike species Ilex verticillata, the winterberry holly.
