EUONYMUS

This article appears in Volume V09, Page 891 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: EUD-FAT
EUONYMUS , in botany, a genus of deciduous or evergreen shrubs or small trees, widely distributed in the north temperate zone, and represented in Britain by E. europaeus, the spindle tree, so called from its hard tough
wood
  being formerly used for spindles. It is a shrub or small tree growing in copses or hedges, with a grey smooth bark, four-angled green twigs, opposite leaves and loose clusters of small greenish-white
flowers
 . The ripe fruit is a
pale
  crimson colour and splits into four lobes ex-posing the
bright
  orange-coloured seed. E. japonicus is a
hardy
  evergreen shrub, often variegated and well known in gardens. The Greek name b:avv os, of good name, lucky, is probably a euphemism; the flowering was said to foretell plague.
