Describe the plant here...
{{Inc|
Gynopogon olivaeformis, Safford (Alyxia olivaeformis, Gaud.). Maile. A straggling or somewhat twining shrub with opposite and ternate lvs., blades ovate to oblong, obtuse or acuminate at both ends, coriaceous glossy, with evanescent veins and margins usually revolute over an intramarginal nerve: peduncles axillary, 3- or 4-fld.; corolla yellowish, salver-shaped, the tube slightly dilated below the contracted throat, puberulous within along the adnate filaments, limb 4- or rarely 5-lobed: drupes often geminate, fleshy black, elliptic-oblong, sometimes curved, acuminate at each end. Hawaiian Isls., hi the woods of the lower and middle regions.— This is perhaps the most cherished plant of the Hawaiians, who weave its fragrant glossy foliage into garlands, or leis, with which to adorn their friends, and with its branches decorate their houses and lanais on festive occasions; and they also celebrate its fragrance in their songs. Other allied species are the laumaile of Samoa (Gynopogon bracteolosus), the nanago or Loduson lahe of the island of Guam (Gynopogon torresianus), and the maire of Tahiti (Gynopogon stellatus).

W. E. Safford.
