==Description== The [[leaf|leaves]] are [[opposite leaves|opposite]], simple, and entire, toothed or lobed; cool temperate species are [[deciduous]], while most of the warm temperate species are [[evergreen]]. Some species are densely hairy on the shoots and leaves, with star-shaped hairs. The [[flower]]s are produced in [[corymb]]s 5β15 cm across, each flower white to cream or pink, small, 3β5 mm across, with five petals, strongly fragrant in some species. The [[gynoecium]] has three connate [[carpel]]s with the [[nectary]] on top of the gynoecium. Some species also have a fringe of large, showy sterile flowers around the perimeter of the corymb to act as a pollinator target. The [[fruit]] is a spherical, oval, or somewhat flattened [[drupe]], red to purple, blue, or black, and containing a single [[seed]]; some are edible for humans, but many others are mildly [[poison]]ous. The leaves are eaten by the [[larva]]e of many Lepidoptera species.
