Re: Vestia lycioides, Vestia foetida?

Aha, I think Tim is talking about a plant I have grown for many 
years, but with a different name.  Mine grows out in the open garden. 
Every once in a while the old plant will die and seedlings will carry 
on.  It is floriferous here, and the pale yellow flowers and dark 
green leaves look good. The flowers are in proportion to the size of 
the leaves and the plant as a whole.  The leaves smell bad but only 
when pinched.  Brushing past the one beside the path does not release 
the odour.

They are more effective in the garden than any Correa I have seen, 
but I've seen only a couple of them, so that may not be a fair 
comparison.
