description_en: Genus of approximately 70 species of deciduous or evergreen, spreading to upright shrubs and trees, closely related to Daphne. They are usually found in habitats ranging from dry slopes to wet woodland in mountainous areas from the Himalayas to E. Asia, Sri Lanka, Australia, and the Pacific islands. The alternate or opposite leaves are oblong-lance-shaped to broadly ovate. Tubular or salverform, usually yellow flowers are produced in terminal spikes, racemes, cymes, or, occasionally, panicles. They are seldom cultivated, but W. canescens, valued for its flowers, will grow in a sheltered position in a woodland garden. In frost-prone areas, grow the tender species in a cool or temperate greenhouse.
