Summary

[edit]
Description

Malpighiaceae (Barbados cherry family) » Malpighia coccigera

mal-PEE-gee-uh or mal-PIG-ee-uh -- named for Marcello Malpighi, 17th century Italian professor and anatomist koh-KEE-ger-uh -- bearing berries

commonly known as: English: dwarf holly, miniature holly, Singapore holly • Tamil: நெல்லிவகை nellivakai

Origin: West Indies

It is a dwarf shrub with evergreen opposite short petioled, spiny toothed leaves. Open, pink flowers and red fruit. With growth habits available in weeping or prostrate forms depending upon cultivar, Miniature Holly can serve a variety of landscape uses.

Their small size makes them well suited for planting along a foundation. The fine texture contrasts nicely with medium and coarse-textured, taller shrubs. Their dense growth habit allows them to fill in in front of taller shrubs which may have become thin at the bottom. The glossy green foliage resembles small holly leaves, and the plants are decorated throughout the year with light pink, delicate, ruffled blossoms in spring and summer and small, bright red cherries in fall and winter.
