Leaves dark green, leathery, obovate, of {{convert|0.8|-|2.3|cm}} long, {{convert|0.4|–|1|cm}} wide; borne on short twigs. Inflorescences in corymbs of {{convert|1|-|1.5|cm}} long; flowers greenish white to pale yellow; fruits green, ca. {{convert|0.6|cm}} wide, with numerous seeds.[2][3] Distribution and habitatHigh Andean wet forests, in open areas and paramos, often dominant on rocky slopes.[2][3] UsesEscallonia myrtilloides furnishes a reddish wood, with resistance to tension and shocks and easy drying.
