Ochna
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Automated taxobox".
Ochna[2] is a genus comprising 79 species of evergreen trees, shrubs and shrublets belonging to the flowering plant family Ochnaceae.[1] These species are native to tropical woodlands of Africa, Madagascar, the Mascarenes and Asia.[3][4] Species of this genus are usually called ochnas, bird's-eye bushes or Mickey-mouse plants, a name derived from the shape of the drupelet fruit. The name of this genus comes from the Greek word ὄχνη (ókhnē), used by Theocritus and meaning "wild pear",[5] as the leaves are similar in appearance. Some species, including Ochna integerrima (yellow Mai flower) and O. serrulata (bird's eye plant), are cultivated as decorative plants.
Distribution
Species of this genus are found in the Old World Tropics, in sub-Saharan Africa, Madagascar, the Mascarene Islands, Arabian Peninsula, Indian subcontinent, Indo-China, and southeastern China.[1]
