'''''Azara''''' is a [[genus]] of ten species of [[flowering plant]]s in the [[family (biology)|family]] [[Salicaceae]], native to temperate to subtropical regions of [[South America]]. ''Azara'' was formerly classed in the family [[Flacourtiaceae]]. <br />
<br />
They are [[evergreen]] [[shrub]]s and small [[tree]]s growing to 1-8 m tall. The [[leaf|leaves]] are alternate, or in some species they appear paired, are simple 1-9 cm long and 0.5-5 cm broad. The opposite-leaved appearance of some species is unusual in that one stipule is enlarged giving the appearance of opposite ["paired"] leaves. The [[flower]]s are small, yellow or greenish, strongly fragrant, with a 4-5-lobed calyx and no petals but conspicuous long, often brightly colored, stamens; flowering is in spring. The [[fruit]] is a red to black [[berry]] 3-10 mm diameter.<br />
