Phillyrea angustifolia, the narrow-leaved mock privet,[1] is a species of flowering plant in the olive family Oleaceae, native to the western and central Mediterranean.[2]
It is an evergreen shrub with simple, entire, leathery, dark green, oppositely arranged leaves. Scented creamy-white flowers are borne at the leaf axils in spring and summer, and are followed by purplish black berries.[1]
The genus name Phillyrea is derived from Greek and means 'leafy',[3] while the species' epithet angustifolia means 'narrow-leaved'.[3]
