The flower s inflorescence is arranged in a spike botany spike 0.6 3 cm long, in range of colors from green to red. The fruit is a wrinkled purple berry 4 6.5 mm diameter, with a waxy coating, hence the common name wax myrtle. This species has root nodules containing nitrogen fixation nitrogen fixing microorganisms, allowing it to grow in relatively poor soils. Cultivation and uses It grows well on cool, moist coastlines and can be planted in lines as a seaside windbreak. The bark and leaves have historically been used on occasion for gastrointestinal ailments. The most active chemical is apparently the glycoside myricinic acid , which is related to saponin . The plant tissues are also high in tannin s.
