Visnea mocanera, Linn. f. Tender evergreen shrub, 6-9 ft. high, of compact habit and with dark green, shining leathery foliage: lvs. short-petioled, ovate-lanceolate, serrate: fls. solitary, white, pendulous. Canaries.—It is a large evergreen shrub or small tree resembling in a general way a tea plant or camellia. The specific name Mocanera was given by the younger Linnaeus because the fr. was supposed to be the "mocan" of the aborigines which was made into a kind of sirup and used to a considerable extent. The fls. are only 3/8 inch across, not very numerous and much shorter than the lvs., but they are very sweet-scented. It has been offered in S. Calif.
