Soap-bark, also known as Quillay

Soap-bark is an evergreen tree distinguished by its slender, upright form reaching heights of 30-45 feet (9-14 meters) with drooping branchlets. It sports bright green, oval, leathery leaves, approximately 1-1.5 inches (2.5-3.8 cm) long and 0.5-0.75 inches (1.3-1.9 cm) wide with margins that are slightly toothed, becoming almost smooth near the leaf base. In late spring to mid-summer, soap-bark bears greenish-white, star-shaped flowers about 0.5 inch (1.3 cm) across, producing distinctive 0.75 inch (1.9 cm) wide, five-lobed, pinwheel-shaped, leathery fruit by fall.
