Elaeagnus macrophylla, an
evergreen shrub found on seashores, forest edges, or precipice edges
in coastal areas, extends branches in a liana-like way and grows to
2-4m in height, with dark brown or gray-brown bark. Leaves are
alternate, 5-10cm long and 4-6cm wide, with an overall oval shape.
The tips abruptly become narrow and shortly pointed; the bases are
orbicular; the texture is thick. Initially, the surfaces are covered
with scaly hairs, but they gradually loosen, turn a deep green, and
become glossy. The back surfaces are silver-white, with dense,
shiny, scaly hairs and sparse light brown or brown scaly hairs.
Axils set 1-3 white flowers hanging. Outside, the flowers and
peduncles have thick, scaly hairs, as well as some pale brown scaly
hairs. False fruit is 1.5-2cm long, in the shape of a long oblong,
and matures in March-May, which looks whitish because of the dense
scaly hairs. Bloom time: October-November. |
