Field Collection Notes
Low-sprawling plants on coral crags, as common here as Timonius polygamus. Branches from a gnarled base, tending to hang down, with the leaves held retrorsely-vertically, leaves reddening with age. Almost all plants seen appeared to be male: this collection had one ripe black fruit.
