Simplocus
From LoveToKnow Garden
Simplocus - A group of shrubs or low trees allied to Styrax, only one of which is of any importance in our gardens. This is S. crataegoides, a compact hardy shrub of 10 or 12 feet, found in Asia from the Himalayas to Japanwhence all our plants have come. The leaves vary much in form and size, but are mostly ovate, scantily covered with down on the under side, and finely toothed. The small white flowers, coming in dense clusters during May, are of no great beauty, but give place to brilliant blue berries of fine appearance; so far, however, these do not seem to have been produced in this country.
