Euonymus fortunei
Wintercreeper euonymus

The 5/8 - 2" evergreen, opposite to slightly subopposite leaves are elliptic to elliptic-ovate to elliptic-obovate with crenate serrate margins. They tend to be dark green with silver-white venation, which varies with cultivar selection. The adult foliage, which occurs on fruiting plants, tends to be thicker, more rounded and leather-like, and smaller than juvenile foliage.
