Eugenia (named in honor of Prince Eugene of Savoy). Myrtaceae. A large group of trees and shrubs, grown chiefly for their ornamental foliage and berries. Many tropical species yield edible fruits which are both eaten out of hand and made into jellies or confections. A number of these have been recently introduced into the warmer parts of the United States, where they give promise of attaining much importance. The clove of commerce belongs to this genus.
