Melia (ancient Greek name). Meliaceae. Bead- Tree. Trees, from 30 to 40 feet high, some of them much planted South for shade and ornament; sometimes bushes. Leaves deciduous, large, doubly pinnate or once-pinnate, the lfts. acuminate, glabrous: fls. in graceful panicles; sepals 5-6, imbricated; petals 5 or 6; stamens monadelphous, 10-12, of two lengths; ovary with several locules, topped with a single style: fr. a small indehiscent drupe.—Species few, of Asia and Austral.

M.japonica, Don. is by Hemsley (Fl. China) referred to M. Azedarach; M. japonica, Hasak, is by some referred to M. Azadirachta, but is perhaps distinct; apparently these plants are not in the trade.
