    Growing on the south coast of England, this evergreen shrub is about 2m high and diameter. Its leaves are 7-10cm long, evergreen narrow and curved backwards along their length, flattennig only when very mature. Fruits are green, 15mm diameter in clusters, ripening to yellow, then bursting in situ to reveal orange seeds.

    Any suggestions as to identification, please?

    Thank you very much indeed Silver surfer for your prompt and accurate identification, especially as it would not survive outdoors in Perthshire. This forum is truly magnificent.
