If you know what a Ardisia Japonica looks like, the leaves are not smooth. My plant looks similar but it has smooth leaves. Also it is not a groundcover it was received in a basket of plants (tropical?). The leaves are elliptical and are alternate on the stem which is not woody. Sorry no picture.
That looks more like it. Although it isn't large enough I guess to produce any buds or flowers. Soot! I just counted the main stems and it looks like I might have 4 growing in one pot. I guess that is why it looks so bushy!
