Euptelea comprises two species of deciduous trees and shrubs characterized by their alternate leaves, which are rounded to ovate in shape. In spring, these plants produce clusters of small flowers that lack petals.

Euptelea

Euptelea pleiosperma

Euptelea polyandra is a spreading shrub or small tree that produces suckers. Its leaves are broadly rounded and taper towards the tip, measuring up to 15 cm in length. Young leaves exhibit a reddish hue, transitioning to a glossy bright green as they mature, and display yellow and red tones in autumn. In spring, before the foliage unfolds, clusters of subtle reddish-green flowers emerge.
