A group of about 100 shrubs found throughout the tropical and subtropical regions, except Amer., differing from all other Myrsinaceae: in the many seeded fr. and the half-superior ovary. Lvs. alternate, petioled, entire or serrate, without stipules: fls. small, white, in axillary racemes or panicles, rarely terminal; calyx 5-lobed; corolla campanulate or urceolate, 5-lobed; stamens affixed to the corolla-tube, opposite the lobes, included; ovary half-superior, 1-celled, with many ovules on a central placenta; style cylindric with capitate stigma: fr. berry-like, many-seeded, crowned by the persistent calyx and style. The following species are occasionally grown in S. Calif, and M. argentea as a greenhouse shrub in botanical gardens in Eu. Prop, by seeds and probably by cuttings. M. argentea, Wall.
