Ilex amelanchier, the Swamp Holly, is a rare^[1] species of holly from southeastern North America.^[2] It is a close relative of Mountain Holly (Ilex mucronata) which formerly was placed in a monotypic genus Nemopanthus. I. amelanchier grows near water, for example on streambanks.^[1]

The dull red berries appear in October to November, and may persist until the following spring.^[1]

Its native range is limited to the Atlantic coastal plain and gulf coastal plain,^[1] and extends as far south as Florida, as far west as Louisiana, and as far north as North Carolina.^[2]
