Probably too late in the season. I found around a half dozen or so of these bushes in the NP (assuming I knew what I was looking at which is not a given). Most had neither fruit nor flowers. Some had berries. None had flowers.

Okay fair enough. In this season. Hence good work!

couplet 5 –> on to:

This plant, with the information shown in these photographs identifies to either of these two candidate species and the most likely candidate, unconfirmed: _Alyxia ruscifolia_ .
