Cestrum mutisii

Native to Colombia, this shrub in the nightshade family grows in moist Andean forests and shrublands between about 6,500 and 9,850 feet. Clusters of small, cream-colored flowers develop along older stems. Each flower is about ⅜ inch long and opens into five lobes, followed by purple berries. It has been planted in projects to restore Andean forest in Bogotá, Colombia. Members of this genus are poisonous if eaten. Photographed in the central Andes of Colombia.
