Holly

Holly is characterized by glossy, often spiny leaves, which help in reducing water loss and deter herbivores—adaptations essential for survival in varying climates. This family typically features red or black berries, which are crucial for seed dispersal via wildlife. These morphological traits make holly both distinctive and resilient in diverse environments.
