Edible and medicinal uses of C. Elliptica, which the National Arboretum referred to as C. Angustata. 4/5 is a very high rating. Anything 3 or higher is generally desirable to eat, less than that is forage and famine food.

Sadly, I didn't think to take a pic of the foliage. But I do remember it being thick and glossy dark green, not like many semi-evergreens that hold onto a few dessicated, miscolored leaves (think Japanese honeysuckle).

Pfaf.org is my go to for obscure edibles, though I always double check their information as their database is so big it's bound to have some discrepancies.
