description_en: Genus of about 70 species of mostly evergreen trees and shrubs from woodland in E. and S.E. Asia and the Pacific islands. They are cultivated for their large, alternate, simple, usually ovate to obovate or elliptic, mid- to dark green leaves with scalloped to toothed margins. The inconspicuous, dioecious flowers are borne singly or in few-flowered clusters from the leaf axils, in spring. Grow in a shrub border, or a peat or woodland garden. In regions that experience long periods below 5°C (41°F), grow half-hardy species in a cool greenhouse.
