Botanic information
Leaf: The young leaves are blush-pink and mature to dark glossy green and are ovate to narrow lanceolate up to 40mm (1? in)wide with an long acuminate apex (drip tip). The upper surface is penniveined and has oil glands that secrete a strong odour.

Flower: The cyathiform flowers are creamy white with 4 funnel-shaped calyx lobes and 4-overlapping petals that are discarded as the flower expands with prominent (fluffy-like) stamens. They are arranged in a terminal panicle at the end of the branchlets and appear during summer.

Fruit: The profuse globular white to purple succulent berry discards the sepals and contains a single large seed. It is distributed by birds or gravity and the seeds have a short viability period and require a moist sheltered position to germinate.
The fruit may be eaten raw or made in to a tasty jam.
