Ligustrum salicinum: A
small deciduous shrub to a tree that rarely occurs in western Japan,
with gray bark. Leaves are of opposite phyllotaxis; blades are
somewhat thin, 6-13cm long, in the shape of a narrow obovate, both
ends pointed, and have conspicuous veins. Branch tips emerge as
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 they are divaricate, allowing them 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 to a black-purple
color. Bloom time: June. |
