communis. the common myrtle has a shrubby, upright stem,
eight or ten feet high. its branches form a close, full head,
thickly covered with ovate or lanceolate evergreen leaves. it
has solitary axillary white or rosy flowers, followed by
black several-seeded berries. the ancients considered it
sacred to venus. the flowers, leaves, and berries are used
variously in perfumery and as a condiment, and the
beautifully mottled wood is used in turning.
