Read detailed description :

Erect evergreen and shiny shrub with long, spear shaped leaves of 8cm long, sometimes a bit more oval. Tolerates the cold, as opposed to others of this family, chalky and dry soils. The yellow perfumed flowers are on long stems at the ends of branches. Glossy green berries follow, revealing seeds covered in an orangey-brown wax.
