Asia and Malaya (30 or more species), with small dioecious fls., berry-like frs., and simple, glabrous evergreen Lvs.: fls. in axillary clusters, or rarely solitary; petals and sepals 5; stamens 15 or less (rarely only 5), joined to the base of the corolla; ovary usually 3-loculed. Cleyera is by some included in this genus. The euryas are allied to camellias, and require much the same treatment. They are grown for foliage rather than for fls. They require an intermediate temperature and a peaty soil. Prop. by cuttings taken from the tips of growing snoots. E japonica, Thunb. (E. Sieboldii, Hort.), is the common species, and is very variable. The variegated form of it (known in the trade as E. latifolia variegata) is one of the best glasshouse decorative pot shrubs: Lvs. variable in shape, usually ovate-acuminate and irregularly toothed or notched, short-petioled, variously blotched with white: fls. greenish white, in small, axillary clusters.
