Camellia Kissii

During a walk around Melbourne botanical gardens I found a tree labelled as a Camellia. It had bright red berries the size of cotoneaster-

No real photographs -

Anyone come across it?

There was a label nearby as kissii but it’s not one I’m familiar with.

Probably a Sarcococca. (Yes that's the name and yes that's how you pronounce it) :P

100% sarcococca. You too good @treeman

Anyone tried them as bonsai? Seem like they have okay characteristics.
