Erect plant with shiny green leaves, irregularly margined with white. These leaves are evergreen, mainly spear-like but sometimes oval. Tolerates cold weather (rare for a Pittosporum), chalky soils and drought. The creamy-yellow and perfumed flowers are held at the end of long stalks. Followed by glossy green berries, revealing wax covered, orangey brown seeds.
