Shrubs
A medium sized evergreen shrub with smallish, rigid, oval leaves with serrated edges that are green above and densely grey-felted beneath. The flowers appear in mid summer on new shoots in clusters and are globular, small, and yellow-green to mustard yellow as they mature. They are strongly fragrant, and have no showy petals but conspicuous long, brightly colored, stamens, so look like mini spiky pom-poms. The fruit is a red-black berry approximately 3–10 mm diameter.
