Looks just like the six over grown shrubs I took out today. I'll admit it, I slacked off this winter... I'll dig out the books tonight and see if I can scan a pic and article on the
species

I've got one on the corner of my house I think, will ask my wife what it is when she gets home.

One of the other guesses seems to be right.

Looks like it may be one type of Euonymus.

Not Euonymus elata (elatus), but another species.

I've seen the other type with glossy green leaves, and some with yellow streaks or variegation in the leaves.

1/2 of you have probably seen the one I'm thinking of.

From a distance it looks like a Gardenia but the serrated leaves give it away, it is a Euonymus. There are several cultivators no telling what kind that one is. No blooms just slow compact growth for the most part. A fairly low maintenance variety for here.

Sorry everyone, but it is a viburnum suspensum. It's a very common shrub around Florida.
