Eurya is a genus of flowering plants in the family Pentaphylacaceae.[1]

Fossil record

Several fossil seeds of Eurya stigmosa have been described from Middle Miocene strata of the Fasterholt area near Silkeborg in central Jutland, Denmark.[2] E. stigmosa is also known from Pliocene Portugal.[3] Eurya macrofossils have also been described from late Zanclean strata of the Pliocene in Pocapaglia, Italy.[4] Seed fossils of Eurya stigmosa were also reported from the Early Pleistocene (Calabrian stage) of Madeira Island (Atlantic Ocean, Portugal)[5]

Species

The genus contains 163 species.[6]

The leaves of Eurya are eaten by caterpillars of some Lepidoptera, such as the engrailed (Ectropis crepuscularia).
