Myoporum crassifolium is a shrub or small tree from New Caledonia and Vanuatu, growing up to about 6 m, with thick fleshy leaves and small white, pink-spotted flowers. It is a coastal, wet-tropical species, so it is rarely grown as a houseplant and is mainly planted outdoors in frost-free, mild climates.
