Eurya species are evergreen shrubs or trees. Bark dark brown, branches terete or striate. Leaves simple, alternate, lanceolate-ovate to oblanceolate-oblong, base acute to cuneate, margins crenate-serrate or serrulate, apex acute to obtuse, coriaceous, green glabrous above, glabrous or sparsely pubescent beneath, midrib impressed above and prominent beneath, petiole sessile or subsessile, exstipulate. Inflorescence axillary, solitary or in fascicles. Flowers unisexual, actinomorphic, pedicellate, bracteate, bracteolate, sepals 5 or rarely 6, subequal, imbricate, ovate-orbicular, base free or slightly connate, glabrous or pubescent outside, persistent, petals 5 rarely up to 8, imbricate, obovate-elliptic, base slightly connate, white, pale yellow or pinkish, base slightly connate. Male flowers: Stamens 5-30 in 1 series, unequal, base free or connate, sometimes adnate to petals, filaments filiform, anthers dorsifixed, 2 loculed, apiculate. Female flowers: Ovary superior, globose, 2-5 locular, axile placentation, ovules many in each locule, style 2-5, free or connate, stigma 2-5 fid. Fruit berry, globose-ovoid, usually indehiscent with persistent style. Seeds numerous, small, pitted, testa shiny, tubercled, reticulate, fleshy endosperm, dark brown or black.

📚 Natural History
Reproduction
Eurya species flowers dioecious i.e., have staminate male flowers on one plant, and pistillate female flowers on another plant. Pollination is entomophilous i.e., by insects, or cleistogamy i.e., by self or allogamy i.e., by cross pollination. Flowering/Fruiting: September—January.
