Maytenus (from a Chilean name). Celastraceae. Trees and shrubs in tropical and temperate America, one of which is cultivated.<br />
<br />
Botanically they are near the common bittersweet, Celastrus scandens. Aside from habit, Maytenus differs from Celastrus in having the ovary confluent with the disk instead of free, and the cells are mostly 1-ovuled instead of 2-ovuled. It consists of evergreen, unarmed plants: lvs. alternate, often 2-ranked, stalked, leathery, serrate: fls. small, white, yellow or reddish, axillary, solitary, clustered or cymose; calyx 5-cut; petals and stamens 5, the latter inserted under the disk; disk orbicular, wavy-margined ; style none or columnar: caps, leathery, loculicidally 2-3-valved. —Species 70 or more, S. Amer., tropical and temperate, and in W. Indies.<br />
