Talk:Ilex vomitoria

Inghie Koco, maro coco aiiaiaia

purgative properties[edit]

The statement that the illex vomitoria leaves are not purgative.emetics is not supported by at least one of the sources (citation 3) listed, which states just the opposite. Given that this source is the one that is in reference to the biology of the plant, and the other is in reference to the native american customs, I'd ask that this statement be removed or backed up. I have always been taught as a naturalist that the leaves did have an emetic effect (along with the caffeine). If this is incorrect, it needs a source to state that, since the prevailing source disagrees.

Move Page to "Yaupon"[edit]

I suggest moving the page to "Yaupon". This plant is related to Yerba Mate and deserves to be named after its common name. Bod (talk) 21:38, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal to change "ilex vomitoria"[edit]

- Ilex vomitoria is bad nomenclature since the plant actually has little to no emetic properties. - It should have the "Emetics" link removed from the bottom of the page, since it's quite the opposite. - It should have the anti-inflammatory research being done at Texas A&M mentioned.

I don't know how to go about it, but the species should probably be renamed something like Ilex americana to reflect something useful and accurate about the plant, rather than a lie perpetrated by British tea traders 250+ years ago. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 136.36.113.79 (talk) 16:47, 20 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
