Fukien tea '''Carmona retusa''' is an evergreen shrub or much-branched small tree. It can grows up to 4 metres tall. The plant ranks among the top 10 of medicinal plants with potential in the Philippines, and thus a small-scale industry has developed around it. It is sometimes grown, especially in the Philippines, for the leaves which are used as a tea substitute and for medicinal purposes. It is also often grown as an ornamental and hedge plant and is a popular subject for bonsai. This plant belongs to Ehretia mcrophylla family.
