Euonymus myrianthus, the many-flowered spindle, is a species of flowering plant in the family Celastraceae. [3] It is native to central and southern China. [2] A variable evergreen shrub or small tree, and reaching 3 to 12 m (10 to 39 ft) in height, it is typically found in wooded areas and forests, from near sea level up to 1,200 m (3,900 ft). [4] In cultivation it does not grow much past 4 m (13 ft), and is valued for its profusion of yellow-orange fruit and scarlet arils which remain on the plant and provide winter interest. [5] It is readily available from commercial suppliers. [3]
