'''''Stachyurus''''' is a flowering plant genus in the family ''[[Stachyuraceae]]'' {{Inc| Stachyurus (Greek, spike and tail; in allusion to the form of the inflorescence). Stachyuraceae, formerly usually included in Ternstroemiaceae. Ornamental woody plants grown for their very early flowers and the handsome foliage. Deciduous or evergreen shrubs or trees: lvs. alternate, slender-petioled, serrate, with small deciduous stipules: fls. perfect or polygamous, nearly sessile, in pendulous axillary racemes; sepals 4, strongly imbricate; petals 4, imbricate; stamens 8 with slender filaments; ovary superior, incompletely 4-celled; style simple, with 4-lobed stigma: fr. a 4-celled, many-seeded small berry. — Five or possibly 6 species in Japan, China, and the Himalayas. The species in cultivation are handsome shrubs with spreading branches, with medium- sized bright green, generally ovate to ovate-oblong leaves and pale greenish yellow flowers in long pendulous spikes appearing early in spring before the leaves from the axils along last year's branches. They have proved hardy in sheltered positions as far north as Massachusetts, but the flower-buds which are formed in autumn and remain naked during the winter are killed by the frost, if not protected. They grow well in moderately moist well-drained soil. Propagation is by seeds or usually by softwood cuttings under glass and by layers. {{SCH}} }} ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Species== * ''[[Stachyurus chinensis|S. chinensis]]'' * ''[[Stachyurus cordatulus|S. cordatulus]]'' * ''[[Stachyurus himalaicus|S. himalaicus]]'' * ''[[Stachyurus obovatus|S. obovatus]]'' * ''[[Stachyurus praecox|S. praecox]]'' * ''[[Stachyurus retusus|S. retusus]]'' * ''[[Stachyurus salicifolius|S. salicifolius]]'' * ''[[Stachyurus yunnanensis|S. yunnanensis]]'' ==Gallery== <gallery perrow=5> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== <references/> <!--- xxxxx *Flora: The Gardener's Bible, by Sean Hogan.
