Notes:
On serpentine boulders along cliff bottoms. Bark "spongey", grey, deeply furrowed (more or less corky), under-bark green. Leaves dark olive green, fruit sparse at first, dark green, calyx remnant offset to one side, fruit maturing, pale yellow or white. Fruit very scarce, possibly decumbent habit, isolation from other plants, dioecious sex-system and habit of flowering within the branches precludes heavy fruiting.
