Description

Small well branched evergreen shrub, with narrow leathery distinct waxy grey-green leaves, where we collected seed on our steep ascent of Fan Xi Pan, the highest mountain of northern Vietnam. Where it grew precariously on a narrow exposed ridge along with bamboo and small Rhododendron. Bearing large heads of congested black fruit, which had succeeded the creamy-white widely opening sweetly scented hermaphrodite flowers of April-June. Easily grown in light to dark shade in a humus enriched acidic or alkaline soil. 1m tall.
