Myricaceae belongs to the order Fagales. It is also known as Wax-myrtle family.
The Myricaceae is a small family of aromatic shrubs and small trees found mainly in temperate and subtropical regions. These plants typically have simple, alternate leaves with resinous glands that give them a distinctive scent. Flowers are small and unisexual, often arranged in clusters, and the fruits are usually single-seeded, sometimes with a waxy coating. Members of this family are adapted to a variety of habitats, including coastal areas, wetlands, and forest edges.
A notable commercial crop is Chinese bayberry (Myrica rubra), also known as yangmei. Native to East Asia, it is cultivated for its juicy, sweet-tart red fruits, which are eaten fresh or processed into juices, jams, and fermented beverages. The tree is also valued for its ornamental appeal and traditional medicinal uses.
