Ilex Cheniana

Ilex cheniana is a rare and lesser-known species of holly native to the mountainous regions of China. It is known for its striking evergreen foliage and clusters of small, red berries that appear in the winter months. This plant thrives in cool, shaded environments and is often found in forested areas with high humidity. Due to its limited distribution and habitat specificity, Ilex cheniana is considered a vulnerable species. Its unique appearance and ecological significance make it an intriguing subject for botanical study and conservation efforts.
