Distylium

From LoveToKnow Garden

Distylium - Two species of small evergreen trees allied to the Witch Hazel, and much used for hedges in China and Japan. D. racemosum has recently been introduced and is probably hardy, but still on its trial in this country. The leaves are thick, leathery, and narrowly-oblong in shape, and in one kind prettily variegated. The flowers are small and devoid of petals, but described as glowing like red fringed buttons all along the stems in early spring. Seed.
