  Myrtle
     (Isa. 41:19; Neh. 8:15; Zech. 1:8), Hebrew hadas, known in the
     East by the name _as_, the Myrtus communis of the botanist.
     "Although no myrtles are now found on the mount (of Olives),
     excepting in the gardens, yet they still exist in many of the
     glens about Jerusalem, where we have often seen its dark shining
     leaves and white flowers. There are many near Bethlehem and
     about Hebron, especially near Dewir Dan, the ancient Debir. It
     also sheds its fragrance on the sides of Carmel and of Tabor,
     and fringes the clefts of the Leontes in its course through
     Galilee. We meet with it all through Central Palestine"
     (Tristram).

  Myrtle \Myr"tle\ (m[~e]r"t'l), n. [F. myrtil bilberry, prop., a
     little myrtle, from myrte myrtle, L. myrtus, murtus, Gr.
     my`rtos; cf. Per. m[=u]rd.] (Bot.)
     A species of the genus Myrtus, especially Myrtus
     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.
     [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: The name is also popularly but wrongly applied in
           America to two creeping plants, the blue-flowered
           periwinkle and the yellow-flowered moneywort. In the
           West Indies several myrtaceous shrubs are called
           myrtle.
