It's called Corokia cotoneaster.  But I don't think it's really a
cotoneaster.  In a way, I suppose it could be, but the similarities
aren't where they should be.
Very odd looking duck; tiny, tiny medium thick leaves, evergreen,
sticking out from a contorted (zig-zag) stem.  Probably a dream for
bonsai, as that was one place that I've seen it before.
