''Euonymus japonicus'' (evergreen spindle or Japanese spindle) is a species of flowering plant in the family Celastraceae, native to Japan, Korea and China.〔Phillips, R. and Rix, M., "Shrubs", Macmillan, 1994, p271〕 It is an evergreen shrub or small tree growing to tall, with opposite, oval leaves 3–7 cm long with finely serrated margins. The flowers are inconspicuous, greenish-white, 5 mm diameter. In autumn, orange fruit hangs below the flaring pink seed coverings. ==Horticultural cultivars== ''Euonymus japonicus'' is a popular ornamental plant for parks and gardens, both in its native area and also in Europe and North America. In particular the numerous cultivars which have been selected (often with variegated or yellow leaves) are widely grown in all soil types in sun or shade. Some of the more distinctive cultivars are: *'Albomarginatus' - leaves green, narrowly margined white *'Bravo' - green and creamy-yellow variegated leaves, upright habit *'Chollipo'〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://apps.rhs.org.uk/plantselector/plant?plantid=2918 )〕 *'Green Spire' - evergreen columnar narrow shrub *'Kathy' - green and white variegated, broad leaves, shorter growing than most *'Latifolius Albomarginatus' - green leaves with broad white margin *'Ovatus Aureus'〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://apps.rhs.org.uk/plantselector/plant?plantid=766 )〕 *'President Gauthier' - dark green and creamy-white variegated leaves, slightly more lax habit than others (those marked have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Euonymus japonicus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
