Maesa (from maass, the Arabian name of Maesa lanceolata). Myrsinaceae. A group of about 100 shrubs found throughout the tropical and subtropical regions, except Amer., differing from all other Myrsinaceae: in the many seeded fr. and the half-superior ovary. Lvs. alternate, petioled, entire or serrate, without stipules: fls. small, white, in axillary racemes or panicles, rarely terminal; calyx 5-lobed; corolla campanulate or urceolate, 5-lobed; stamens affixed to the corolla-tube, opposite the lobes, included; ovary half-superior, 1-celled, with many ovules on a central placenta; style cylindric with capitate stigma: fr. berry-like, many-seeded, crowned by the persistent calyx and style. The following species are occasionally grown in S. Calif, and M. argentea as a greenhouse shrub in botanical gardens in Eu. Prop, by seeds and probably by cuttings. M. argentea, Wall. Large shrub with stout branches, densely brownish pubescent while young: lvs. membranous, elliptic to elliptic-oblong, dentate, dull green above and more or less pubescent on both sides, 4-8 in. long: fls. white, scarcely 1/6 in. long, in short racemes ½ - l in. long: fr. globose, whitish, 1/6 in. across or less. Himalayas. M. indica, Wall. Tree, to 30 ft.: lvs. coriaceous, glabrous, elliptic, dentate, about 5 in. long: racemes axillary, shorter than lvs. India. Bears edible berries. M. macrophylla, Wall.
