Pahang, Gunong Tahan (Eidley 16172). 



This fine holly is allied most clearly to I. purpurea, 

 Hassk., a Japanese and Chinese species, from which it differs 

 in its large stiff, coriaceous leaves, and much larger fruit with 

 broad thick pyrenes. The crenulations of the leaf are most 

 marked toward the top, and are shallow and distant. The 

 main and secondary nerves are decurrent on the midrib.
