Found this plant/shrub yesterday in Morrison s, it had been yellow
stickied to half price pot labeled as Hardy garden plant and the label
was for Viburnum Eve Price (Which is a form of Viburnum tinus).
It's like no viburnum I've ever seen or can find.
I don't know if was a lazy grower thinking it had to have some sort of
label or what (They didn't have any other shrubs there)
The leaves are small as you can see by the 20p (No that's not its fruit)
No scent to them.

Any one got any ideas?

Looks rather like one of the many seedlings I pull up in my mother's
garden, coming from next-door's myrtle, what used to be called Myrtus
luma but I think is Lumus apiculata these days (they've chopped and
changed the names in that family in recent years), or a similar
myrtle. Coprosma is another possibility.

I did wonder about Myrtus but as I said there is no smell from the
leaves when handled, and Luma has a gingery bark. I have one that is
around 20 years old.
