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, approximately 5mm in
length. 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. Fruit, 8-10mm long, is oblong and
matures in black-purple. Bloom time: June. |
