Cleyera is a plant genus consisting of 21 species[1] of tender, evergreen shrubs to small trees, mostly native to Mexico and Central America, and one from Eastern Asia. In the APG III system it is placed in the family Pentaphylacaceae.[2]
The botanical name is derived from Andrew Cleyer, a Dutch physician of the seventeenth century. The plants are grown for specimen accent hedges or mixed border landscapes. Though they are slow-growing, they can eventually reach 6–10 ft (1.8-3m). The plants grow densely upright with low spreading-branch habit, round-shaped form, and can be kept compact by occasionally tip-cutting. Leaves are glossy, oval-shaped, 6–10 cm long with dark-green and bronze-red to burgundy tinted young leaves. Very fragrant small creamy white to pale yellow flowers bloom in early summer with petals free or scarcely coalesced. The pollen can cause mild allergy symptoms. Fruits are spherical, greenish yellow, turning red to black.

Au XVIIIe siècle, Michel Adanson attribue le nom de Cleyera à un genre de plantes d'une famille dite alors des Scrophularinées et que Linné avait déjà nommé Polypremum[2].
C'est ensuite sous le nom de Cléyère que Carl Peter Thunberg décrit un genre d'arbustes de la famille dite alors de la Polyandrie Monogynie, mais que l'on a ensuite classé, à la fin du XIXe siècle, dans celle des ternstrémiacées[3]. Au début du XIXe, on appelait Cleyera Japonica l'unique espèce connue de ce genre encore incertain qui croissait près de Nagasaki au Japon[2]; mais plusieurs espèces sont identifiées à la fin de ce siècle[3].
