Phylica buxifolia leaves

The short-stalked Phylica buxifolia leaves spread, some with their pointed tips slightly inclined. The ovate to elliptic shapes are rounded at the base, tapering broadly at the tips. The whitish midribs show more strongly near the leaf bases. The rolled under margins and often slightly sunken midribs make the two blade halves appear bulged. Leaf dimensions are 15 mm to 25 mm long and up to 10 mm wide.

The leaf positioning on the stems in picture does not appear very consistent. The yellowed leaf parts seen here may be disease-related (Coates Palgrave, 2002; Van Wyk and Van Wyk, 1997; iNaturalist).
