description_en: Genus of about 8 species of small trees or shrubs, usually deciduous, and rhizomatous, herbaceous or subshrubby perennials, which occur in warm-temperate climates in grassland, scrub, and woodland, often in mountainous regions. They are cultivated for their attractive habit, foliage, and fruits. Arching shoots bear opposite, simple, entire leaves. Small, insignificant green flowers are produced in terminal or axillary racemes in spring, and followed by ornamental, fleshy, black, purplish black, red, or yellow fruits. In some species, male and female flowers are borne on different plants. Coriaria species are suitable for a shrub border or rock garden. In frost-prone climates, grow half-hardy and frost-tender species in a cool greenhouse. The leaves and fruits of some species may cause severe stomach upset if ingested; in other species, the fruits are edible, although the seeds are thought to be poisonous.
