Japanese skimmia
An evergreen shrub native to Japan, often grown for its fragrant flowers and red berries. Scientific name: Skimmia japonica, especially the variety S. j. var. japonica.
Japanese skimmia bears red berries in winter.
I planted a Japanese skimmia in the garden.
Kanji spelling is rare; the plant name is usually written in katakana or hiragana.
The name ミヤマシキミ (深山樒) literally means 'deep-mountain skimmia', referring to its natural habitat. The derivation of シキミ is uncertain, but it is the Japanese name for the related plant Illicium anisatum (Japanese star anise).
