 Myrsine africana (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.virginia.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Myrsine africana has a wide distribution from the Himalayas, China, and the Azores to eastern and southern Africa.
Very adaptable, Myrsine africana is suitable for the formal garden, clipped into low hedges and features, tough enough for the water-wise garden, attracts birds, and is one of the best small shrubs for the shade garden.
Myrsine africana is slow growing, but long-lived and certainly worth the patience to give it a place in the garden.

The marlberry is a common woodland plant in pinelands, coastal hammocks, and scrub habitats.
They are distinguished easily by young stem tips, which are green in Myrsine, but brown in the marlberry.
In addition, Myrsine bears its flowers and fruits along leafless portions of its branches, while the marlberry's flowers and fruits are located on branch terminals.

 Myrsine africana
It is found throughout South Africa, common in the summer and winter rainfall areas, growing naturally on rocky krantzes, in fynbos and forests.
Myrsine africana was introduced from the Cape into England in the late seventeenth century where it was cultivated at Hampton Court in 1691 (McClintock 1994).
At Kirstenbosch, Myrsine africana grows well in dry, semi-shade under trees as well as in the full sun between fynbos plants and in a rockery.

The fungus is believed to be a species of Heydenia Keiss of the Deuteromycetae (Imperfect Fungi), and the hemispherical fl tops of sporocladia were misinterpreted by Zhang (1995) as glands.
In addition to Myrsine africana, the fungus also infests M.
semiserrata Wallich (Tai, 1979), and both species of Myrsine are distributed in the greater part of South China (Chen, 1979).
