Ilex cornuta may be some one was transporting a christmas wreath of holly when a leaf fell off is my guess... or a holly plant itself ... and a leaf fell off... second... its too big for being Malphigia coccigera though the shape and the pointed ends are similar... or atleast reminiscent of holly wreaths may be popular in kerala ... http://asianetindia.com/christmas-wreaths-designs/ usha di On Mon, Jan 5, 2015 at 10:14 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > No, certainly not.
