Fla. and Bahamas. It is a low tree (about 15 ft.), with evergreen lvs. somewhat like box but obovate, and racemes of small white honey- scented fls., which appear in winter. It appears to be cult, only in S. Fla. and S. Calif. It is possible that the plant sometimes cult, is the J. armillaris of Jacquin, which Mez now calls J. barbasco, and which occurs in W. Indies.
