Ornamental evergreen or deciduous shrubs, with handsome foliage and sweet-scented, white, purple, lilac or rarely greenish fls., which, in warmer climates, often appear during the winter. Lvs. alternate, rarely opposite, entire, short-petioled : fls. in clusters, short racemes or umbels, apetalous, mostly fragrant; perianth tubular or campanulate, 4-lobed, corolla-like, usually clothed with silky hairs outside ; stamens 8, included; stigma capitate, sessile or nearly so : fr. a fleshy or leathery 1-seeded drupe. About iO species in Eu. and Asia. Only D. Mezereum, with very early lilac, fra- grant fls. and decorative scarlet fr., and some low ever- green species, like D. Cneorum and D. Slagayana, are hardy north, while most of the evergreen species can be recommended only for warmer climates. D. PoH^^ca. and D.
