Description
This thorny shrub grows erect to approach a maximum height of 4 meters. The woody parts are gray in color and waxy and somewhat hairy in texture. The evergreen leaves are alternately arranged. They are generally oval in shape and usually smooth along the edges, but sometimes minutely toothed. The inflorescence is a panicle-like cluster of white flowers up to about 7 centimeters long. The fruit is a rough, lobed capsule about half a centimeter long containing three seeds.

gollark: Probably less bad stuff, though, than an organization which is actively trying to do bad stuff and is somewhat good at it.
gollark: Competent evil is going to do lots of evil things. Not-very-competent not-evil is not going to do many things, but at least it won't do many evil things.
