Most of the species are native to eastern [[Asia]], with two (''S. malacodendron, S. ovata'') in southeast [[North America]].<ref name="bean"/><ref name="li et al.">Li, J., Del Tredici, P., Yang, S., & Donoghue, M.

They are [[shrub]]s and [[tree]]s, mostly [[deciduous]], though some species (e.g. ''S. pteropetiolata'') are [[evergreen]]; the evergreen species form a genetically distinct group and are split into a separate genus ''Hartia'' by some botanists,<ref name="li et al."/> but others retain them within ''Stewartia''.<ref name="kew"/><ref name="china">''Flora of China'' [http://web.archive.org/web/20040814114055/http://flora.huh.harvard.edu/china/mss/volume12/Theaceae-CAS_edited.htm draft account of Theaceae]</ref> The Asian species include both shrubs and trees, growing to 3-20 m tall, while the American species are shrubs growing 3-5 m tall, rarely becoming small trees. 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. The [[fruit]] is a dry five-valved capsule, with one to four [[seed]]s in each section.<ref name="bean"/><ref name="rushforth"/><ref name="china"/>

The species are adapted to [[acid]]ic [[soil]]s, and do not grow well on [[chalk]] or other [[calcium]]-rich soils. They also have a high [[rain]]fall requirement and will not tolerate [[drought]].<ref name="bean"/>

Several species of ''Stewartia'' are grown as [[ornamental plant]]s for their very decorative smooth orange bark and their flowers produced at a time of year when few other trees are in flower.<ref name="bean"/>
