Myrsine (an old Greek name for the myrtle, of no application; the myrtle is Myrtus communis). Myrsinaceae. Shrubs and trees with coriaceous leaves and whitish or yellowish small flowers, of tropical and warm countries.
As formerly constituted and accepted by botanists, a genus of about 80 species: glabrous or tomentose: lvs. leathery, mostly entire: fls. small, sessile or peduncled, in axillary or lateral clusters, polygamo-dioecious; floral parts in 4-5's, the corolla-lobes imbricated in the bud; anthers short and usually blunt: fr. a pea-shaped drupe, dry or fleshy, 1-stoned; seed globose. The family has been re-elaborated by Mez (in Das Pflanzenreich, IV: 236 1902) and the genus Myrsine is restricted to 4 species in Asia and Air. The species here described then become Rapanea and Suttonia.
