About Pittosporum pimeleoides A.Cunn.
Plants of the Pittosporum genus are shrubs or trees, and are occasionally spiny. They have smooth-edged leaves that range from linear to lance-shaped or egg-shaped, with the narrower end towards the base, and each leaf is attached to the stem by a petiole. Flowers grow at the ends of branches or in leaf axils, arranged in cymes or clusters. Their sepals are not fused to each other. Petals are linear or lance-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, and are partly fused to form a tube. Anthers are shorter than the filaments, and open via two longitudinal slits. The fruit is a woody or leathery capsule that holds seeds immersed in a sticky fluid. Plants of the Pittosporum genus are native to parts of southern Africa, Madagascar, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Pakistan, India, parts of China, Korea, Japan, Southeast Asia, New Guinea, Australia, New Zealand, and some Pacific Islands.
