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. July, Aug. Japan, China. —Larger leaved than the former, but more tender. It yields the white wax, an exudation of the branches, caused by an insect, Coccus Pe-lah; therefore cultured in China. Var. Alivonii, Arb. Kew. (L. japonicum var. Alivonii, Andre). leaves ovate-lanceolate, to 8 in. long, acuminate, sometimes with yellowish variegation when young. Var. aureo-marginatum, Hort. (L. excelsum aureum, Hort.). leaves margined yellow. Var. tricolor, Arb. Kew. (L. japonicum tricolor, Hort.). Leaves with yellowish variegation, pink when young.
