Clutia daphnoides

Clutia daphnoides is a resilient shrub often found in rocky, well-drained soils where it thrives in full sun. Its slender branches bear small, lance-shaped leaves that have a similar appearance to those of the Daphne shrub. The waxy texture of the leaves aids in water conservation, making it well-suited to arid conditions. While inconspicuous, its greenish flowers are of ecological importance for native pollinators.
