Its evergreen lanceolate leaves are long and have three parallel conspicuous veins which run lengthwise. The plant flowers during the spring and summer.

== In popular culture ==
West Indian Lilac appears in the 1993 film ''Jurassic Park'', where a Triceratops has a coating of microvesicles on its tongue. It was believed to have eaten some of the shrub but this seems to have been disproven by doctor Ellie Sattler after checking its droppings. In the book however, it is a Stegosaur and it eats only the berries from the ground, not the plant itself.
