Cascabela thevetia is an evergreen tropical shurb or small tree. Its leaves are willow like, linear lanceolate, and glossy green in color. They are covered in waxy coating to reduce water loss (typical of oleanders). Its stem is green turning silver/gray as it ages. Flowers bloom from summer to fall. The long funnel shaped sometimes fragrant yellow (less commonly apricot, sometimes white) flowers are in few flowered terminal clusters. Its fruit is deep red-black in color encasing a large seed that bears some resemblance to a 'Chinese lucky nut.
