description_en: Genus of about 5 species of dioecious, evergreen, many-branched, upright or rounded shrubs and small trees, found in forest and scrub in Africa, the Azores, the Himalayas, China, and New Zealand. They are mainly cultivated for their alternate, linear or lance-shaped to rounded, usually entire, leathery, some-times glossy, mid- or dark green leaves. Inconspicuous male and female flowers are produced in umbels on separate plants; both are needed to produce fruit. Grow in a shrub border, against a wall, or in a rock, heather, peat, or woodland garden. In frost-prone areas, grow half-hardy and frost-tender species in a temperate greenhouse.
