Xylosma congestum, commonly known as shiny xylosma, is a species of flowering plant native to China.[3]
Discovery[]
The species was first recorded in China by Jesuit missionary João de Loureiro.[4]
Description[]
X. congestum can grow up to 8–10 feet (2.4–3.0 m) tall and wide.[5] New leaves are a red-bronze colour that mature to a bright green. Although the species seldom flowers, small, black berries can be produced, which attract birds.[3][6]
