Science - Botany / Floristry

German term or phrase: Kapgrün

In a list of floral materials required to make up a flower arrangement. I don't even have a photo. It is a Christmas themed arrangement with a candle at the centre and comes in a list of botanical names and other materials. I have hunted high and low for this and can't find it translated anywhere! Any flower experts out there?

Cape Green

Explanation:
I can't find confirmation of this, though.

Phylica ericoides is excellent for floristry, and is used mainly as a filler. In the cut flower trade it is sold as a 'Cape Green' and is called white phylica, to distinguish it from P. pubescens that they call green phylica.
