Raphiolepsis japonica integerrima

Curtis's Botanical magazine vol. 91 nº 5510 (1865)

A remarkably pretty plant, with thick, evergreen, shining leaves, and large, white odorous flowers. We first received it at the Royal gardens from Berlin, in 1862, and more recently from other quaters. Its native countries are Japan, Bonin, and the korean Islands. Though variable in habit, stature and foliage, it may always be distinguished from its near ally, the Chinese R. Indica, by the much larger flowers and broad obtuse bracts.
