Description
Summary:Ilex theaezans Bonpl. ex Miers was invalidly published as a synonym of Ilex paraguariensis A. St. Hil. (Aquifoliaceae). The existing information is summarized about I. theaezans, a name related to the first botanical description of the South American tree from which the yerba mate is obtained. An earlier homonym of I. theaezans Bonpl. ex Miers, Ilex theezans C. Martius ex Reisseck, which was effectively and validly published, pertains to a species clearly different from I. paraguariensis.
