My shrub has two kinds of leaves.  What is this?

The shrub is really just two shrubs that have been pruned to look like one. One is a Euonymus and the other is a Cleyera. You can leave them growing together or remove one of them. If you want to remove one, it would probably be better to remove the euonymus because of the scale problems they have.
