Ardisia crispa, the Japanese holly, is a species of flowering plant in the family Primulaceae.[2] It is found in the eastern Himalayas, Assam, southern China, Indochina, Taiwan, Korea, the Ryukyu Islands, and Japan, and has been introduced to Queensland, Australia, and the Windward Islands in the Caribbean.[1] An evergreen perennial shrub reaching at most 1.5 m (5 ft), it is often sold as an ornamental for its dark green leaves and long‑lasting red berries, much like Ardisia crenata, the Christmas berry or coralberry.[3][4][5]
