Euclea, from the Greek eukleia meaning "glory and fame",[2] denotes a group of flowering plants in the Ebenaceae or ebony family. They were described as a genus by Linnaeus in 1774.[3][4] The genus includes evergreen trees and shrubs, native to Africa, the Comoro Islands and Arabia.[1] Several species are used for timber, producing a hard, dark heartwood timber similar to ebony.
