mahonia
noun[ C or U ]
uk /məˈhəʊ.ni.ə/ us /məˈhoʊ.ni.ə/
an evergreen bush (= one that never loses its leaves) that has yellow flowers with a sweet smell:
Mahonia has dark green foliage that offsets its scented, lemon-yellow flowers.
All mahonias smell good, but this is perhaps the most fragrant of all.
Winter-flowering plants such as mahonia not only add fragrance and colour but are an important food source for birds and insects.
In Holland, mahonia is often planted in the strips dividing a suburban road from the subsidiary road for bicycle traffic.
