I had forgotten about an evergreen named Morella cerifera, which was named Myrica when I last greeted it, but its common name has remained.

The sweet gale, Myrica Gale, and the sage, Salvia officinalis, were also similarly employed.

Myrica, mi-rī′ka, n. a genus of shrubs of the sweet-gale family, including the bay-berry or wax-myrtle, yielding a tallow used for candles.

If it has not been invaded in the mean time by men or cattle, trees and arborescent plants, Alnus, Salix, Myrica, &c. appear, and these contribute to hasten the attachment of the turf to the bottom, both by their weight and by sending their roots quite through into the ground.

The genus Myrica is the type of a small, but widely distributed order, Myricaceae, which is placed among the apetalous families of Dicotyledons, and is perhaps most nearly allied to the willow family.
