Bearing August-frost, dense terminal branched clusters of fertile white petalled flowers, closely followed by violet-blue berries. One of the few collections we made near Nonghat in the north of Lao, on the Vietnamese border. Untried for hardiness keep out of cold winds, sun or shade. in a sheltered spot, or in a container.
