Symplocos kuroki
is a small evergreen tree with light brown bark found in evergreen
broadleaf forests. Leaves are of alternate phyllotaxis; blades are
10-20cm long, 4-8cm wide, in the shape of an oblong or long-oblong,
with tips pointed, bases broadly cuneate, and delicate, sharp
serrations or shallow serrations on margins. The leaves feel
leathery, and the surfaces are glossy. Veins are about ten pairs and
significantly uplift themselves on the backsides, as with midribs.
The current year's branch axils emerge as racemes and set many white
flowers. The inflorescences often branch at the bases, and the
branches bear dense dark brown hairs. Bloom time: March-April. |
