Evergreen shrubs or small trees; bark dark brown, smooth. Twigs dark brown, terete; young twigs grayish brown to ferrugineous, short pilose to villose. Terminal buds ovoid, with a few scales, appressed hairy, the apex acuminate and slightly curved. Leaves: blades coriaceous or thinly coriaceous, elliptic, ovate or lanceolate, 2-7 cm long, (0.7-)1-2 cm wide; apex acute, acuminate or caudate with apiculate tip; base cuneate to short attenuate; margin more or less recurved, crenate to glandular dentate with teeth 2-5(-6) mm apart; upper surface shining, glabrous except the pilose midrib; lower surface dull, sparsely appressed hairy; midrib slightly prominent or sulcate on upper surface, prominent beneath; nerves (4-)5-7 pairs, slightly prominent beneath; petioles appressed hairy, (1-)2-3(-4) mm long. Inflorescence axillary, a simple spike or a short-pedicelled raceme, (5-)10-20(-28)-flowered, 1-3(-4.5) cm long, the axis grayish brown, villose; pedicels up to 1 mm long; bracts ovate to widely ovate, keeled, 0.7-1 mm long, apex acute or obtuse; bracteoles 2, ovate to widely ovate, 0.7-1 mm long; both persistent, adaxially glabrous, abaxially appressed hairy. Flowers: calyx tube glabrous or rarely sparsely appressed hairy, 0.5-1 mm high; calyx limb ca. 1 mm long; calyx lobes imbricate, orbicular to widely ovate, apex obtuse, 0.5-1 mm long, outside glabrous or sparsely appressed hairy; corolla deeply 5-lobed, white, often tinged red-violet at apex of lobes, 3-4 mm long, lobes elliptic; stamens 18-35, pentadelphous; disk 5-glandular, pilose; style glabrous, swollen at base, 2.5-3.5(-4) mm long; ovary 3-locular, with 4 ovules in each locule. Fruits black, ovoid, 3-4.5 mm by ca. 3 mm, persistent calyx lobes forming a blunt beak; stone ovoid, smooth, 3 mm by 2.5 mm; mesocarp and endocarp thin; seed 1, curved, with curved embryo. Distributed in the Ryukyus, Taiwan and S. China; in Taiwan 700-2,000 m altitude. ILAN: Taipingshan, Suzuki s. n., 3819, 12338; Nanhutashan, Suzuki et al.

I treated S. microcalyx Hayata as an endemic species to the Ryukyus in 1993, but I cannot find significant differences between S. microcalyx and the plants in Taiwan and S. China which bloom in spring having small bracts.

Evergreen small trees; twigs dark brown, terete; young twigs brown with appressed or patent brown hairs. Terminal buds ovoid to subulate, with the same indument as young twigs, the apex acuminate and usually curved. Leaves: blades coriaceous, narrowly (often obliquely) rhomboidal, oblong or lanceolate, 5-10 cm long, 1.5-3.5 cm wide, apex acuminate to long caudate with apiculate tip, base often subequal, cuneate, rounded or obtuse, sometimes slightly cordate, margin slightly recurved, crenate-serrate with teeth (1-)2-4(-6) mm apart; upper surface shining, glabrous except midrib or rarely sparsely setose; lower surface dull or glossy, sparsely appressed hairy or setose; midrib sulcate of slightly prominent at the base above, prominent and appressed hairy or setose beneath; nerves 6-10 pairs, slightly prominent beneath; petioles with appressed or obliquely patent hairs, 1-3(-4) mm long. Inflorescence axillary, a simple spike or a shortly pedicelled raceme, 4 to 20-flowered, 1-5 cm long, the axis villose with same indumentum as young twigs; pedicel to 1(-2) mm long; bracts semi-orbicular to ovate, keeled, 1.5-2.5 mm long, apex obtuse or acute; bracteoles 2, ovate to triangular, ca. 1.5 mm long, both persistent, adaxially glabrous, abaxially appressed hairy. Flowers: calyx tube glabrous, 1-1.5 mm high; calyx limb, 1-1.5 mm long; calyx lobes imbricate, ovate , 1-1.5 mm long, glabrous or abaxially appressed hairy, apex obtuse; corolla deeply 5-lobed, white, the lobe elliptic, ca. 4 mm long; stamens ca. 25; disk 5-glandular, pilose or rarely glabrous; style glabrous, swollen at base, 4-6 mm long; ovary 3-locular. Fruits obliquely ovoid to globose, crowned by persistent calyx lobes, 5-7 mm long excluding calyx limb, 4-5 mm in diameter. Distributed in Taiwan and S. China; in Taiwan 1,500-2,100 m altitude.
