Ardisia crenata / Manryou マンリョウ

 
Ardisia crenata, a 30-100cm-tall evergreen shrub, grows in evergreen forests with erect stems and sparsely branching on the upper parts. The phyllotaxis is alternate; blades, 4-13cm long, 2-4cm wide, are long-oblong, with wavy serrations on margins, thick texture, and both surfaces glabrous. The branch tip set is approximately ten, about 8 mm, across white flowers in an umbel way. Corollas deeply cut themselves into five, and the lobes bend backward. Stamens are five in number, stigmas one. Drupes are spherical, 6-7mm in diameter, remaining until around next April. Bloom time: June-August.
