Chinese Holly or Horned Holly, Ilex cornuta, Aquifoliaceae. Female Flowers. China and Korea, Asia. Ilex cornuta, commonly known as Chinese holly or horned holly, is a slow-growing, densely foliaged evergreen shrub in the Aquifoliaceae plant family. It is native to eastern China and Korea. The leaves are usually 5-spined (sometimes 4). Ilex cornuta is dioecious, meaning the flowers found on the shrub are either female or male. Male and female flowers are not found together on the same plant, so the plant is not self-fertile, it takes a male and a female plant to reproduce.
