Ilex vomitoria, commonly known as yaupon or yaupon holly, is a species of holly that is native to southeastern North America. The word yaupon was derived from its Catawban name, yopún, which is a diminutive form of the word yop, meaning "tree". Another common name, cassina, was borrowed from Timucua (despite this, it usually refers to Ilex cassine). The Latin name comes from an incorrect belief by Europeans that the plant caused vomiting in certain ceremonies. * The plant was used by Native Americans to make a tea containing caffeine. The plant is the only known indigenous plant to North America that contained caffeine. The plant is also used heavily for landscaping in its native range. |
