Profile
Scientific name:	Drypetes littoralis (C.B.Rob.) Merr.

Features:

The Drypetes littoralis is a small evergreen tree with smooth, rounded twigs and simple, oblong-falcated leaves that grow in an alternating pattern, have short stalks, and branch into unequal parts along the midrib. The fruits of the Drypetes littoralis are covered with short, soft hair; grow from the axis of the plant's leaves; and turn red when mature. The plant's leathery leaves, which are 6-8cm long and 3.5-4cm wide, are resistant to both strong sea winds and searing sunshine, thus making the plant highly adaptive to coastal areas. Its bright green leaves contrasted with its mature, red oval fruit makes the Drypetes littoralis an ideal houseplant.

Habitat:

Drypetes littoralis are distributing primarily on the rocky coasts near the coral reefs of the Hengchun Peninsula and Orchid island.
