The Duranta erecta or Duranta repens (also called Honey Drops, Golden Dewdrop, Pigeon Berry, saphire showers) is in the Family: Verbenaceae.
Origin: Tropical America
Large shrub 5-10 ft or Small tree 10-20 ft. Fragrant foliage attracts butterflies, bees and hummingbirds.
The popular name of this erect shrub is inspired by the clusters of bright orange-yellow berries that follow the flowers, in such quantities that they often cause the slender branches to droop gracefully. The lavender-blue or white flowers appear in loose clusters, and both orange berries and blossoms are often seen on a plant. Flowers have a mild sweet vanilla-like smell. There is also a form with variegated leaves, as well as one with bright yellow leaves; these do not bloom so profusely and are usually grown primarily for their foliage.
