Wikipedia, that well-known source of misinformation, indicates that
Leucothoe has alternate leaves. I had taken the first picture to
indicate opposite ones (hence Hypericum and Vinca) - have I misread
it, and they are in fact alternate?

The leaves are alternate. This is particularly clear if you look at the
second photograph, where the inflorescence can be seen to be in the axil
of a solitary leaf.

Not that I can identify it in either case!
