description_en: Genus of about 30 species of spreading, prostrate to upright, evergreen shrubs and trees from open, dry areas, usually at low altitudes, from E. Asia to Australia, New Zealand, and Hawaii. The alternate, variably shaped, entire or toothed, light to mid-green leaves are dotted with glands. Small, bell-shaped or tubular-bell-shaped flowers, each with 5 spreading lobes, are borne singly or in short cymes from the leaf axils, followed by small, succulent berries. In frost-prone areas, grow in a temperate or warm greenhouse, mainly for foliage. Elsewhere, they are suitable for a shrub border, and are ideal as informal hedges and windbreaks, especially near the sea.
