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 and 2-4cm wide, being long-oval to obovate in shape, with leathery, glossy surfaces, shallow or sparse serrations on the margins, and sharp or rounded tips. Branch tips emerge in panicles, where many 1-1.5cm across white flowers are set. About 1cm long and 5-8mm wide, petals are obovate, with round tips and occasionally dentations. Calyx tubes are funnel-shaped, and the sepals are 4-5mm long, oval-like, triangular with pointed ends—pomes, about 1cm in diameter, spherical, mature in black-purple in October-November.
