Ligustrum lucidum, Ait. (L. japonicum macrophyllum, L. magnoliaepfolium, L. sinense latifolium robustum and L. spicatum, Hort.). Large shrub or tree, to 20 ft., with somewhat spreading branches, similar to the former: leaves larger, ovate to ovate-lanceolate, acute or acuminate, distinctly veined beneath, 3-5 in. long: panicles less loose, with almost sessile flowers; tube about as long as calyx.
