Holly by rhoing

Holly

I think. I’m pretty sure. Genus Ilex. In the Aquifoliaceae family. An interesting photo at PhytoImages shows mistletoe and holly side-by-side. They are sometimes confused, but here they look pretty different, http://phytoimages.siu.edu/imgs/paraman1/r/Aquifoliaceae_Ilex_sp_16849.html
(Check out the date that photo was taken. Seasonally appropriate for the mistletoe!)
