Aextoxicon

Aextoxicon is a solitary species, distinguished by its evergreen nature and dense, broad leaves which flourish in the moist and shadowy undercanopies of temperate forests. Its small, inconspicuous flowers and berry-like fruits, which contribute to its subtle woodland presence, suggest adaptations suited for low-light environments and dispersal by native fauna.
