styrax
''Styrax'' is a genus of about 130 species of large shrubs or small trees in the family Styracaceae, mostly native to warm temperate to tropical regions of the Northern Hemisphere, with the majority in eastern and southeastern Asia, but also crossing the equator in South America.〔Fritsch ''et al.'' (2001)〕 Common names include styrax, or the more ambiguous storax, snowbell, and benzoin.
The genus ''Pamphilia'', sometimes regarded as distinct, is now included within ''Styrax'' based on analysis of morphological and DNA sequence data.〔Wallnöfer (1997), Fritsch ''et al.'' (2001)〕 The spicebush ''(Lindera benzoin)'' is a different plant, in the family Lauraceae.
Styrax trees grow to 2–14 m tall, and have alternate, deciduous or evergreen simple ovate leaves 1–18 cm long and 2–10 cm broad. The flowers are pendulous, with a white 5-10-lobed corolla, produced 3-30 together on open or dense panicles 5–25 cm long. The fruit is an oblong dry drupe, smooth and lacking ribs or narrow wings, unlike the fruit of the related snowdrop trees (''Halesia'') and epaulette trees (''Pterostyrax'').
