Stewartia (in honor of John Stuart, Earl of Bute, a patron of botany; 1713-1792). Sometimes spelled Stuartia. Ternstroemiaceae. Ornamental woody plants chiefly grown for their large and showy flowers.

Deciduous shrubs or trees with smooth flaky bark: lvs. alternate, short-petioled, serrate: fls. axillary or subterminal, short-stalked, with 1 or 2 bracts below the calyx; sepals and petals 5 or sometimes 6, the latter obovate to almost orbicular, usually concave, with crenulate margin, connate at the base with each other and with the numerous stamens; styles 5, distinct or connate: fr. a woody, usually hirsute caps., loculicidally dehiscent into 5 valves; seeds 1-4 in each locule, compressed, usually narrowly winged.—Six species in E. N. Amer. and E. Asia.

The stewartias are very desirable ornamental plants, with handsome bright green, rather large foliage which turns deep vinous red or orange and scarlet in fall; they are very attractive in midsummer with their white cup-shaped flowers, which are in size hardly surpassed by any others of our hardier shrubs. S. pentagyna and S. Pseudo-Camellia are hardy as far north as Massachusetts, while S. Malachodendron is tender north of Washington, D. C. They thrive best in deep, rich, moderately moist and porous soil, preferring a mixture of peat and loam, and, at least in more northern regions, a warm, sunny position. Propagation is by seeds sown soon after maturity and by layers; also by cuttings of half-ripened or almost ripened wood in late summer under glass.

The [[bark]] is very distinctive, smooth orange to yellow-brown, peeling in fine flakes. The [[leaf|leaves]] are alternately arranged, simple, serrated, usually glossy, and 3-14 cm long. The [[flower]]s are large and conspicuous, 3-11 cm diameter, with 5 (occasionally 6-8) white petals; flowering is in mid to late summer.
