Description
Growing to 40 cm (16 in), this trailing evergreen shrub bears fragrant white flowers in early spring. The flowers are followed by round pink or white berries.
In medicine
Plants of this species have been used for medicinal purposes because they are found to have antioxidant properties, useful in treating skin diseases, toothache, and malaria, and may be used as a natural laxative or anticoagulant. Cytokines that are directly involved in the inflammatory response are reduced, allowing this effect to occur.
