Description

Yaupon Holly is an evergreen shrub or small tree reaching 5–9 m tall, with smooth, light gray bark and slender, hairy shoots. The leaves are alternate, ovate to elliptical with a rounded apex and crenate or coarsely serrated margin, 1-4.5 cm long and 1–2 cm broad, glossy dark green above, slightly paler below. The flowers are 5–5.5 mm diameter, with a white four-lobed corolla. The fruit is a small round, shiny, and red (occasionally yellow) drupe 4–6 mm diameter containing four pits, which are dispersed by birds eating the fruit. The species may be distinguished from the similar Ilex cassine by its smaller leaves with a rounded, not acute apex.[3][4][5][6][7]

[edit]Habitat and range

I. vomitoria occurs in the United States from Maryland south to Florida and west to Oklahoma (only in the extreme southeast)[6] and Texas. A disjunct population occurs in the Mexican state of Chiapas.[1] It generally occurs in coastal areas in well-drained sandy soils, and can be found on the upper edges of brackish and salt marshes, sandy hammocks, coastal sand dunes, inner-dune depressions, sandhills, maritime forests, nontidal forested wetlands, well-drained forests and pine flatwoods.[3]

[edit]Ecology

The fruit are an important food for many birds, including Florida Duck, American Black Duck, Mourning Dove, Ruffed Grouse, Bobwhite Quail, Wild Turkey, Northern Flicker, sapsuckers, Cedar waxwing, Eastern Bluebird, American Robin, Gray Catbird, Northern Mockingbird, and White-throated Sparrow. Mammals that eat the fruit include Nine-banded Armadillo, American Black Bear, Gray Fox, raccoon andskunks. The foliage and twigs are browsed by White-tailed Deer.[3]

[edit]Cultivation and uses

Native Americans used the leaves and stems to brew a tea, commonly thought to be called asi or black drink for male-only purification and unity rituals. The ceremony included vomiting, and Europeans incorrectly believed that it was Ilex vomitoria that caused it (hence the Latin name). The active ingredients are actually caffeine and theobromine,[8][9] and the vomiting was either learned or as a result of the great quantities in which they drank the beverage coupled with fasting.[3][10] Others believe the Europeans improperly assumed the black drink to be the tea made from Ilex vomitoria when it was likely an entirely different drink made from various roots and herbs and did have emetic properties.[11]

查了下字典。：）

代茶冬青（学名：Ilex vomitoria）是原产于北美洲东南部的冬青，包括美国马里兰州南至佛罗里达州及西至奥克拉荷马州[1]及得克萨斯州与墨西哥恰帕斯州。[2]

代茶冬青是一种常绿植物，高5-9米，树干平滑及呈浅灰色，枝条纤细有毛。叶子互生，呈卵形至椭圆形，尖端圆形，叶缘有钝齿或粗锯齿，长1-4.5厘米，宽1-2厘米，顶面有光泽呈深绿色，底面较淡色。花朵直径长5-5.5毫米，有四瓣的花冠，花白色。果实细小，直径长4-6毫米，呈红色（有时黄色），有4颗种子，靠鸟类吃果实来传播。它们与卡氏冬青不同的地方是其较细小的叶子，两种植物叶子尖端的形状也不一样，代茶冬青的叶尖为圆形，卡氏冬青的叶尖为锐尖形。[1][3][4][5][6]

代茶冬青一般生长在近岸有良好去水的沙质土壤，而在盐质沼泽、沙丘、非滨岸湿地、森林及松矮林中亦可发现。[3]

代茶冬青的果实是很多鸟类的重要食物，如红嘴鸭、绿嘴黑鸭、哀鸽、皱领松鸡、美洲蒙面雉、野生火鸡、扑动䴕、吸汁啄木鸟、雪松太平鸟、东蓝鸲、美洲鸫、北美猫鸟、北方嘲鸫及白喉雀。而吃代茶冬青果实的哺乳动物有九带犰狳、美洲黑熊、灰狐、浣熊及鼬鼠等。而白尾鹿亦会吃其叶子及树枝。[3]

[编辑] 种植及用途

美洲原住民将代茶冬青的叶子及树干制成一种茶，专供男性洁净礼仪之用。典礼上包括了呕吐的一环，而欧洲人却误会是代茶冬青所造成。其主要成份有咖啡因，而呕吐可能是学习或是喝下大量代茶冬青所造成。[3][7]
