Escallonia macrantha<\/em> indeed<\/span><\/p>\n

Looking again at pictures and having clicked a lot this year in California, I am convinced that this is not E. macrantha which is now considered as E. rubra var. macrantha. It is characterised by glandular viscid stems, pedicels and calyx (rather a key character), which is lacking in these photographs. Please see this from KEW website:<\/p>\n
