Macro syringa berrytree flower
Photographed in situ.
One can often smell this tree before seeing it, the perfume is heady and (I think), really lovely.
Growing in great swathes of clusters, the individual flowers of the syringa berrytree are very small at 10 mm diameter with five pale purple/white petals.
Native to this country and indomalaya. Fruits are highly toxic to humans and some animals, but delicious for birds. Other common names include white cedar and cape lilac.
Growing to 12 m.
