Rhaphioleptis indica var. umbellata: An evergreen shrub to small tree that inhabits seashores or mountainous districts nearby, grows to 1-4m in height. Leaves are alternate; blades measure 4-8cm long, 2-4cm wide, long oblong to obovate, with leathery and glossy surfaces, shallow or sparse serrations on margins, and sharp or round tips. Branch tips emerge panicles where many 1-1.5cm across white flowers set themselves. About 1cm long and 5-8mm wide, petals are obovate, with round tips and occasionally dentitions. Calyx tubes are funnel-shaped, and the sepals are 4-5mm long, oval-like triangular with pointed ends—pomes, about 1cm ln diameter, spherical, mature in black-purple in October-November.
