Skimmia
a genus of plants of the family Rutaceae. The plants are evergreen shrubs that reach 2 m in height. The oval, alternate leaves have translucent glandules. The bisexual or unisexual flowers are tetramerous or pentamerous and gathered in apical panicles. The fruits are drupes with two to four one-seeded ovules; they are usually bright red in color. There are seven or eight species, which are distributed mainly in China, Japan, and the Himalayas. S. repens grows in the USSR. S. japonica and S. reevesiana (also known as S. fortunei) are grown in greenhouses; they are especially beautiful during fruit bearing. Want to thank TFD for its existence?
