Ligustrum salicinum: A small deciduous shrub to a tree that rarely occurs in western Japan, with gray barks. Leaves are of opposite phyllotaxis; blades somewhat thin, 6-13cm long, in the shape of a narrow obovate, both ends pointed, and conspicuous veins. Branch tips emerge panicles that set many small white flowers; corollas are white and approximately 5mm long. Their segments are as long as tubular parts or somewhat shorter and divaricate to bend backward. Filaments are longer than the corolla's segments, and female styles are about 4mm long and project from the tubular parts. 8-10mm long, the fruit is oblong and matures in black-purple. Bloom time: June.
