Desert holly (Ilex dhurranensis) has several adaptations that enable it to thrive in arid environments. Its thick, waxy leaves reduce water loss through transpiration, while its deep root system allows it to access moisture from deeper soil layers. Additionally, the plant has a unique ability to tolerate high salinity levels, which is beneficial in desert habitats where saline soils are common. These adaptations help desert holly survive in harsh conditions with limited water availability.
