If so, it's not S. praecox. It doesn't look right to me. Not that
I am a Stachyurus expert.

The other thing that occurs to me is a Leucothoe, perhaps. It's quite
familiar but I can't think why!


I thought for a few minutes that you had it there (partly because I had
a vague idea that it might be related to Gaultheria), but the bracts at
the base of each pedicel eliminate Leucothoe. Also, the petals don't
look consistent with the urn shaped flowers of those (and several other)
ericaceous genera - so that would seem to eliminate Gaultheria as well.
