Species of plant From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Euonymus myrianthus, the many-flowered spindle, is a species of flowering plant in the family Celastraceae.[3] It is native to central and southern China.[2] A variable evergreen shrub or small tree, and reaching 3 to 12 m (10 to 39 ft) in height, it is typically found in wooded areas and forests, from near sea level up to 1,200 m (3,900 ft).[4] In cultivation it does not grow much past 4 m (13 ft), and is valued for its profusion of yellow-orange fruit and scarlet arils which remain on the plant and provide winter interest.[5] It is readily available from commercial suppliers.[3]
