Alyxia buxifolia (Sea Box or Dysentery Bush) is a species of shrub in the Apocynaceae family.

It can grow up to 2 metres in height, but is more often less than 50 cm high in exposed coastal areas.[1] It has thick, elliptic to obovate leaves which are 1 to 4 cm long and 5 to 25 mm wide.[1] It produces white flowers in cymes between spring and autumn, followed by rounded, red fruits which are about 8 mm in diameter.[1]

In Australia, it occurs in coastal areas of the states of Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria and New South Wales.[1]
