      Euonymus

      Once upon a time, there was a mischievous Euonymus plant named Leafy. Leafy loved playing pranks on the other plants in the garden. One day, while the gardener was watering the plants, Leafy decided to hide behind a tall sunflower. As the gardener approached, Leafy quietly sprinkled some water on the gardener’s head, making him think it was raining. The gardener was puzzled and looked up, only to find Leafy giggling. From that day on, the other plants in the garden always kept an eye out for their playful friend, Leafy, making gardening a lot more fun for everyone.

      Short Description

      Euonymus /juːˈɒnɪməs/ is a genus of flowering plants in the staff vine family, Celastraceae. Common names vary widely among different species and between different English-speaking countries, but include spindle (or spindle tree), burning-bush, strawberry-bush, wahoo, wintercreeper, or simply euonymus. It comprises about 130 species of deciduous and evergreen shrubs, small trees and lianas. They are mostly native to East Asia, extending to the Himalayas, and they are also distributed in Europe, Australasia, North America, and Madagascar. 50 species are endemic to China.

      Description

      The inconspicuous flowers occur in small groups, and can be green, yellow, pink or maroon in color depending on species. The leaves are opposite (rarely alternate) and simple ovoid, typically 2–15 cm long, and usually with a finely serrated margin. The fruit is a pink or white four- or five-valved pod-like berry, which splits open to reveal the fleshy-coated orange or red seeds.

      The seeds are eaten by frugivorous birds, which digest the fleshy seed coat and disperse the seeds in their droppings. Many species are used for medicinal use, and parts of the plants can be poisonous to humans.
