Meaning of "yaupon" in English

Yaupon is a small evergreen tree or shrub belonging to the holly family, scientifically known as Ilex vomitoria. Native to the southeastern United States, yaupon is notable for its small, dark green leaves and red berries. Traditionally, its leaves were used by indigenous peoples to brew a caffeinated tea. This plant is one of the few native North American plants that contain caffeine, and today, it's sometimes cultivated for ornamental purposes and for its caffeine-rich herbal tea.
