Waterleaf

This small shrub grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 121 years old. It is very resistant to destructive insect infestation but susceptible to disease.

It has several flexible, straight stems covered in thick, waxy, white with black speckled bark, and the wood inside is mahogany-coloured.

The branches are tall, rigid and upright with hundreds of twigs that and are covered with thick bunches of large, perforated, leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are slate with orange tips, rigid and smooth.

It produces many tiny, sky blue flowers with perforated petals with a tube-like 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 honeysuckle. In late winter it forms smallblack, winged seeds that float and land far away.
