Read about Amyris in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture
Amyris (etymologically allied to myrrh, in allusion to the odor). Rutàceae. Torch-wood. Some 10 species of shrubs and trees ranging from the S. U. S. to Cent. Amer. and W. Indies, a few of which have been mentioned as evergreen cult, plants in hothouses. Lvs. alternate, compound but lfts. sometimes reduced to 1 as in some other rutaceous plants: fls. white, in axillary or terminal spikes; sepals and petals 4; stamens 8: fr. an ovoid or globose drupe, with a single stone.— Apparently none of the species is in cult, in this country, although A. balsamifera, Linn., of S. Fla. and the W. Indies, A. Plumieri, DC., of the W. Indies, and A. braziliensis (properly Protium braziliense, of the Burseraceae) may occur.
