Rhodomyrtus (Greek, rose-myrtle, from the rose-colored flowers). Myrtaceae. Tender trees and shrubs, one of which, R. tomentosa, is of slight economic importance in southern Asia, where it is native, and which is grown to a limited extent in California and, Florida.
Leaves opposite, 5- or 3-nerved: fls. rather large, axillary; calyx-tube turbinate, the lobes persistent; petals 5 or 4; stamens numerous, free, in many series; berry globose or ovoid, with few to many seeds.— Species about 5. The genus differs from Myrtus in having 1-3 locules in the ovary with 2 rows of ovules in each, the locules frequently with spurious partitions or divided into numerous l-ovulate superposed cells; while the lvs., in place of being pinnately veined, have 3-5 nerves. R. tomentosa is indigenous to India, Ceylon. Malaya, and S. China. The other species are Australian and not cult.
