Aberia gardneri

Azara consists of evergreen shrubs or small trees characterized by simple leaves that frequently appear in asymmetrical pairs. These plants produce tiny, aromatic yellow flowers featuring prominent stamens, which grow in clusters or spikes emerging from the leaf axils. In some instances, these flowers give way to white or pale purple berries.

Azara alpina

Azara celastrina

Azara dentata is a medium-sized evergreen shrub characterized by its small, stiff, oval-shaped leaves featuring serrated margins. The upper surface of the leaves is green, while the underside is densely covered in grey felt. In mid-summer, clusters of flowers emerge on new growth, appearing as small, globular blooms that transition from yellow-green to mustard yellow as they mature. These flowers are highly fragrant and lack prominent petals, instead showcasing long, vividly colored stamens that give them the appearance of miniature spiky pom-poms. The plant produces red-black berries that measure approximately 3 to 10 mm in diameter.

Carrierea calissima

Carrierea calycina is a sizable, vertically growing tree characterized by its wide, oval leaves that can reach lengths of up to 20 cm, all supported by elongated, reddish stems. During the middle of summer, it bears small clusters of greenish-white blossoms, which are succeeded by notable, claw-like seed capsules in a greyish-brown hue. These capsules develop on female or bisexual specimens of the tree.

Idesia

Idesia polycarpa is a deciduous tree characterized by its open branching structure and broad, heart-shaped leaves that are glossy green with slight serrations. The leaves are borne on reddish stems, which may have a reddish hue when they are young. In midsummer, mature trees produce elongated clusters of small yellow-green flowers that emit a pleasant fragrance. When pollinated, female trees will develop hanging clusters of round red berries, which may remain on the branches into the winter months.

Poliothyrsis

Poliothyrsis sinensis is a deciduous tree that can reach heights of up to 10 meters. Its bark is grey and becomes deeply furrowed as the tree matures. The leaves are dark green, glossy, and slender with pointed tips, growing on red stems. New growth exhibits a bronze tint. During mid- to late summer, the tree produces small, fragrant flowers that are greenish-white and emerge from white buds, arranged in conical clusters that can measure up to 25 centimeters in length.

This genus consists of a single species of deciduous tree known for its glossy green leaves that offer appealing autumn hues. It produces loose, conical clusters of small, fragrant flowers that are creamy-yellow in color.

Poliothyrsis sinensis

Populus consists of deciduous trees that typically grow rapidly and reach substantial sizes. These trees exhibit a dioecious reproductive system, with male and female catkins found on separate specimens, blooming prior to leaf emergence. The male catkins are generally more visually appealing, while the female catkins can be problematic due to their production of cottony seeds that are dispersed by the wind.
