A genus of woody plants or shrubs including the spindle tree, known for colorful berries and foliage and cultivated as ornamentals.
From Greek eu- (well) + onoma (name). The ancient name reflected the plant's recognizable and useful characteristics in Mediterranean regions.
Euonymus plants have an incredible evolutionary trick—their seeds have a bright red or orange 'seed coat' that birds find irresistible, so the birds eat them and spread them across vast distances.
