Azara (I. N. Azara, a Spanish promoter of science, especially of botany). Flacourtiaceae. Ornamental shrubs or small trees grown for their handsome evergreen foliage and also for their fragrant flowers. Leaves evergreen, alternate, short-petioled, entire or serrate, with usually one of the stipules enlarged and If .-like: fls. small, in axillary peduncled racemes or clusters, apetalous; sepals 4-5; with glands between the stamens and the sepals opposite the latter; stamens numerous, rarely 5; ovary superior, 1-celled, with numerous ovules; style simple, elongated: fr. a many- seeded berry.—About 20 species in S. Amer., especially in Chile. They are handsome evergreen shrubs, with small or medium-sized foliage, inconspicuous but fragrant flowers, and therefore called "aromo" in Chile. They can be grown only in warmer temperate regions; the hardiest species is A. microphylla. They are sometimes cultivated as greenhouse plants and potted in a sandy compost of loam and leaf soil. Propagation is by seeds or by cuttings of mature wood in autumn under glass with slight bottom heat. The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
