Characteristics

Shrub 45 cm to 3 m tall, sometimes scandent, twiggy; twigs puberulous, usually short about 2 cm long. Leaves simple, usually glabrous and without acarodomatia, suberect, shining, green, often drying blackish and brittle, very variable in size and shape, sometimes aborted or very small on the flowering twigs, oblong, ovate-oblong or ovate-lanceolate, 1.5-3.5 cm long (usually about 2.5 cm long) 4-28 mm broad (usually about 9 mm broad), rounded or sometimes acuminate and acute at apex, rounded at base and abruptly narrowed into a petiolule-like base; petiole glabrous or minutely puberulous appearing articulated in the centre or above or below, 1-5 mm long. Inflorescence terminal on short lateral twigs, usually 1-flowered, rarely 3-flowered; pedicels shorter than the calyx, 1-5 mm long, glabrous or rarely minutely puberulous. Calyx glabrous or rarely minutely puberulous in parts; tube 2-3 mm long; lobes 5-9, margins inrolled, appearing subulate with wide sinuses between them, 3-5 mm long sometimes minutely puberulous at least on margins. Corolla white, pink-flushed or lobes dorsally brick red, fragrant; tube 2-3 cm long; lobes about 11, more or less 1.7 cm long and 4 cm broad. Stamens inserted on the tube in upper half, included, or sub-e x serted in short styled flowers; filaments about 1-3 mm long; anthers 3.5 mm long, apiculate. Ovary 2 mm long quadrate, truncate; style 2-lobed at apex, included or eventually exserted in long styled flowers, lobes oblong about 2 mm long. Fruit a twin berry joined at base only, but often only one half developing, oblong to oblong-globose, slightly compressed, about 1-1.5 cm long, 8-10 mm broad and 4 mm thick, green, shiny, turning black when ripe.

Dwarf shrub or climber, 0.3-3.0 m high. Leaves papery, shiny, green, ovate-oblong, apex rounded; 2-5-paired on short twigs, closely spaced; petioles up to 5 mm long, articulated. Inflorescences terminal on lateral twigs, 1-flowered. Flowers scented. Calyx: tube up to 3 mm long; lobes 5-9, subulate. Corolla white, pink-flushed, salver-shaped; tube slender, up to 30 mm long; lobes ± 11, 1/2 tube length. Stamens 2, included; filaments short; anthers ± 3.5 mm long, apiculate. Ovary quadrate, truncate; style exserted; stigma 2-lobed. Flowering time Aug.-May. Fruit a twin berry (one aborting), oblong-globose, black when ripe.
Leaf lamina up to 3 (4·5) x 1·4 (2) cm., but usually much smaller, lanceolate, oblong–elliptic or narrowly ovate, the apex acute to obtuse with minute thickened tip, the base cuneate or tapered; both surfaces glabrous; venation inconspicuous above, midrib more prominent below, lateral nerves few, the basal pair often running almost to the leaf apex; margin of leaf narrowly thickened.
A climber or shrub. It can be 3 m tall. The leaves are opposite and simple. They are narrowly oval and can be 4.5 cm long by 3 cm wide. They are pointed at the tip. The leaves are dark green. The flowers are white and pink underneath. They occur in large groups. They have a scent. The fruit are small and shiny black. The fruit usually have 2 lobes.
Shrub, 0.45-3.00 m high. Twigs shortly, densely and persistently puberulous. Leaves unifoliolate, rarely 3 times as long as broad, petiole articulate in lower half. Calyx lobes almost as long as to much longer than calyx tube. Flowers single on short pedicels, white, pink-flushed or lobes dorsally brick-red.
Corolla white inside, reddish outside; tube 17–32 mm. long; lobes (6) 9–12, (12·5) 15–18 mm. long, oblong, the apex cuspidate, shortly acuminate or trifid.
Stamens inserted near the top of corolla tube; filaments short; anthers 2·5–4 mm. long, reaching to within 2–4 mm. of base of corolla lobes.
Flowers terminal on short lateral branches, solitary or very rarely in 3–flowered cymes, very sweetly scented; pedicels 2–5 mm. long.
Shrub to 3 m, twigs shortly hairy. Leaves ovate-lanceolate. Flowers 1(-3), terminal, ± 11-lobed, white flushed red outside.
Petioles up to 7 mm. long, the articulation variously situated, from near the lamina to near the stem.
Young shoots minutely puberulous, bark of older twigs pale fawn, splitting longitudinally.
Style either well exserted from tube or c. 5 as long, with bifid stigma of variable form.
