toothed lancewood

P. ferox is an upright, evergreen tree, later developing a small, rounded head. Young plants produce long, narrow, leathery leaves with sharp points and coarsely toothed edges. They are dark bronze-green with greyish markings and hang stiffly downwards. Mature plants produce shorter, spreading, dark green leaves. Green flowers are produced in summer and early autumn, followed on female plants by black berries
