Speckled

This average-sized shrub grows up to 2 feet (61.0 cm) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 157 years old. It is susceptible to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has many branched, twisting stems covered in hard, waxy, white with black speckled bark, and the wood inside is yellow-brown.

The branches are short, rigid and upright with thousands of twigs that and are covered with handfuls of miniature, fan-like, leaves with tattered edges. The leaves themselves are found in hazel and dark grey varieties, light and clammy.

In late summer it produces many bunches of large, dark grey flowers with asymmetrical petals with a trumpet-shaped floral cup. They are very delicate and have a scent whose strength depends on external factors, such as soil quality and rain frequency that smells like freshly baked bread.
