 Ixora pavetta Andr., Rep. t. 78. 1799.
syn: Ixora parviflora Vahl; Ixora decipiens DC.

Tall shrub or small tree; leaves opposite, oblong or elliptic, 7-15 cm long, obtuse or shortly acuminate; petiole 4-5 mm long; flowers white, sessile, in in condensed corymbose cymes; calyx minute; corolla tube slender, 6-10 mm long; lobes reflexed; fruit globose, black.

Species looks very similar to Ixora finlaysoniana but easily differentiated by its much shorter corolla tube.
