Rhaphiolepis indica, commonly known as the Indian hawthorn, India hawthorn, or Hong Kong hawthorn, is an evergreen shrub in the family Rosaceae.

They are shrubs or small trees which rarely reach a size of 4 m in height. The branches are purple-brown when young, greyish brown when old, cylindrical, initially brown tomentose, and glabrous in old age.

Easy to care for and versatile, the Indian Hawthorn offers pretty clusters of pink or white flowers. Its resilience against diseases and ability to thrive in various soil types make it a popular choice for novice and expert gardeners.
