Pittosporum illicioides var. illicioides PAB 9004

Found by us on Shirui Peak, Manipur, NE India at nearly 2400m asl, this evergreen made medium sized shrubs with Celastrus-like seed heads splitting to reveal orange seeds in autumn. These were preceded by clusters of highly fragrant, evening scented pale-yellow flowers in June. This variety has ovate foliage. For a sheltered position.
