What plant is this?

November 14th, 2011
I took this photo on my university campus because I loved the colours - the bright red of the berries contrasted nicely with the vibrant green of the leaves. Unfortunately though, I have no idea what type of plant it is (apart from that it isn't holly)! Any botanically-minded people out there who could tell me what it is? Googling "plants with red berries" hasn't been very helpful! Thanks!

A holly??????

Ilex altaclarensis 'Golden King', it is a Holly. A variety with no thorns on the leaves.

I'm thinking maybe holly, too. I search a little and could it be a Golden King Holly?

Ha, just like me to dismiss a possibility only to find it's a variation I didn't know about! Thanks everyone :)

It could also be a skimmia
